White Flower Farm
Echinacea purpurea 'Mellow Yellows'
Echinacea purpurea 'Mellow Yellows', commonly known as Coneflower, offers cheery, long-lasting blooms ranging from palest cream to canary yellow, each featuring a deep orange central cushion. These floriferous and sturdy-stemmed plants are excellent for attracting pollinators and look wonderful in borders or cottage gardens. Coneflowers thrive in average soils, tolerate hot, dry conditions once established due to deep taproots, and are deer resistant. The dried seed heads provide winter interest and food for birds like goldfinches. They are adaptable perennials that bloom from late June until frost.
