It is so easy to harvest your own coneflower seeds. It’s also really easy to grow these from seed. They are not a long lived perennial so it’s a good idea to constantly refresh your patch of Coneflowers by spreading new seeds so you’ll always have young vigorous plants coming up to replace the ones that die off.
