Yellow Coneflower (Echinacea Paradoxa) - Grown from flower seeds, this Yellow Coneflower is very similar in stature and form to Pale Purple Coneflower; however, it has brilliant yellow petals instead of the characteristic purple shades that are most often seen. It has daisy-like petals around a brown central cone, and this Echinacea plant has a deep taproot so it can survive intense sun and drought like conditions. Perfect for xeriscaping.
Common Questions
Does Echinacea need full sun?
The Echinacea plant grows best in full or partial sun. Give the plant at least six hours of sun a day.
Do I need to deadhead my coneflowers?
Yes, to keep your purple coneflowers blooming you need to deadhead them as they fade.
Will Echinacea spread?
Echinacea spreads because it is naturally self-seeding, but only if you do not deadhead the blooms. If you don't want it to spread too much, you will need to weed out the volunteer seedlings.
Do I need to divide my plants?
Coneflowers all become dense, and root bound over time causing blooms to be sparse. Dig up, divide and replant every 3 – 4 years to keep your plants thriving.
