Why Choose Yellow Coneflower?

Yellow coneflower is more than just a beautiful addition to your garden—it’s a reliable and resilient native plant that enhances biodiversity and adds seasonal interest. Its adaptability to different soil types and light conditions ensures it will thrive in various garden settings, from sunny borders to expansive meadows.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Prefers full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it tolerates drought conditions.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
