The Story
Say hello to sunshine with the Mellow Yellows Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Mellow Yellows')! This unique perennial puts on a cheerful show of large, daisy-like blooms in soft buttery yellows, lemon tones, cream, and even a touch of soft peachy hues, all with a golden-orange cone!
It’s a pollinator magnet and compact, making it a top pick for small gardens, mixed borders, and container combos. Blooms appear from early summer to fall, reblooming steadily with deadheading. A hybrid selection from the popular native Purple Coneflower, it brings an easygoing vibe to sunny spots!
Mellow Yellows grows in a tidy, upright clump reaching just 2 to 2.5 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide. Its deep taproot and fibrous root system make it drought-tolerant once established. Sturdy stems hold up the blooms without flopping, and its medium green, lance-shaped foliage provides a lush base. Flowers are held high and face outward with classic raised cones, providing bold summer structure and color.
