Kismet® Yellow Coneflower

Kismet® Yellow Coneflower Glows All Season Long

Bright and sunny, the Kismet® Yellow Coneflower (Echinacea x 'Kismet Yellow') is a dazzling perennial that puts on a cheerful, golden show from early summer into frost. Bred for long-lasting color and abundant blooms, this hybrid Coneflower is part of the Kismet® series, which is known for its compact size, vigorous growth, and extended bloom season. Its large, lemon-yellow, daisy-like blooms with prominent central cones are not only a pollinator magnet but also wonderfully fragrant.

This vibrant bloomer grows in a tidy, upright clump, reaching 12–24 inches tall and wide. The narrow, spear-shaped green leaves create a bushy mound at the base, while the flowers rise above on sturdy stems perfect for cutting and creating inviting bouquets!

Unlike older Coneflower varieties that may rest between blooms, Kismet® Yellow keeps going without pause, offering a continual splash of sunshine across the garden. As the season shifts, the cones darken to a burnt orange, adding warm contrast to the petals.

Native to North America, Echinacea has a long tradition in herbal medicine for boosting immunity! And these cheerful blooms are sure to make you feel so much better just by brightening your sun gardens each summer!
