A good location for the green coneflower
The green coneflower prefers sunny locations and is relatively easy to care for. The plant can thrive in most soil types as long as the soil is sufficiently well-drained and does not get too wet.

To get the most out of this plant, it is advisable to combine it with other plants that suit it well and can support its growth. Daylilies and yarrow would be perfect for this, as they also require little care, like the green coneflower.
