The 'Yellow Coneflower' this one is a relatively new introduction, These plants have become tremendously popular in recent years thanks to the trend of 'Prairie Style' planting schemes. Their impressive daisy type cone centre flowers in varying shades can be put to good effect mixed with other hardy perennials such as Asters, Rudbekias, Cimicifuga, eryngiums etc, & especially married with all the ornamental grasses which invoke this prairie style planting effect.
Plant Echinaceas in well drained but moist soil in full sun & they will reward you with months of flowers from July to October
This variety has large daisy type flowers ranging from a pale creamy yellow to some much richer golden tones, with a dark cone like centre from June onwards, and standing well into the winter, even the dead stems & flower heads give structure when covered in dew or frost.
