Description
Mellow Yellows Echinacea is a compact native perennial with strong freely branching stems and elongated green foliage. The semi-double flowers open gold and transitions through various shades of yellow as it softens to cream and bloom from through summer to mid fall. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
