Artisan™ Soft Orange Coneflower

All the bright and cheerful colors of the sun! The Artisan™ Yellow Ombre Coneflower (Echinacea x 'PAS1303304') will light up your landscape with its array of butter, canary, banana, lemon, mustard, and bold gold hues! Each large ray flower subtly changes its yellow intensity as it ages while maintaining that spikey ball of darker pollen-covered yellow in the centers. These bundles of yellow call every pollinator in the area like a beacon!

Yellow Ombre Coneflowers stand up to sun and weather with strong stems and coarse, deep green lance-shaped, glossy foliage. Forming mounds that look great long before the flowers appear, you'll enjoy flushes of big bold blooms all summer, with sporadic flushes of flowers until frost (especially if you remember to deadhead). Just leave a few blooms at the end of the season for birds like Goldfinch to find a feast in the seedpods.

Artisan™ Coneflowers are wonderfully xeric, ideal for fire-wise landscaping, heat and humidity tolerant, and thrive in full sun all day long, but won't feed the deer and bunnies. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9, there's little these tough hybrids can't handle. All this and they still look brilliant in a vase as the focal point in your bouquets!

Planting and Application:

Plant these drought-tolerant perennials in your pollinator and modern wildflower garden, they look radiant in the sun garden as edging or border plants, and add pops of color to a Rock Garden! Display this unique Coneflower all on its own as a fantastic specimen and focal point plant by plating en masse along hot, dry swaths of sunbaked ground and that tricky hell strip along the road or sidewalk! These big landing pads are an open invitation to both nectar-sipping pollinators and bees looking to gather pollen!

Try combining with other Artisan™ Coneflowers like Red Ombre and Soft Orange for a full sunset and sunrise garden party! Yellow Ombre Coneflowers look great planted among other hot-colored perennial flower combos like Coreopsis, Rudbeckia, Hello Yellow Butterfly Weed, Sunrita® Golden Yellow Blanket Flower, and Banana Dwarf Red Hot Poker Plants! Pair with yellow Roses and Sunflowers, clash with purple and burgundies or light up gloomy plants with dark foliage.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Echinacea hybrids are low-maintenance sun-loving herbaceous perennials that thrive in tough conditions once established. Plant in about any kind of well-drained soil with regular moisture for new plants, but after, Coneflowers are very drought tolerant. For best flowering though, provide supplemental moisture throughout tough times and hot summers. Mulch mounds with 3-4 inches of arborist bark chips. Deadhead to encourage new blooms, then prune back mounds in late fall after the foliage yellows.
