Growing the Earthy Gold Coneflower -- ‘Harvest Moon’


‘Harvest Moon' Coneflower is a great addition in any perennial garden!  It displays daisy-like petals that are wide and overlapping.  These deep golden-yellow petals have an orange cone with 4" fragrant flowers and will bloom from June to August.  They won't fade or wilt, even in the worst summer heat, and if you cut them for the vase, they'll go strong for 2 weeks or so!

This plant grows 24 to 30 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide.  For best growing results, plant in full sun.   The Coneflower 'Harvest Moon' is one of the newest on the market today.  As part of the Big Sky Series,  ‘Harvest Moon' is hardy, a vigorous grower and attracts butterflies, bees, and if cones are left on the plant, the birds will feed on them in winter.

Divide clumps of this fragrant, stocky plant in spring every 3 to 4 years.  This Coneflower does well in the garden or in pots.
