Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.
This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Big dollops of lemon cream confection, the Cone-fections™ Lemon Drop Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Lemon Drop') will add its unique beauty to your garden beds and borders in the sun! This pure bright yellow Echinacea is fully double and packed with so many petals we won't blame you if you think it's fully triple!
The flowers are puffy balls on top with elegant drooping petals around the base. These are showstoppers in the garden and especially in the vase! Pollinator-friendly, the big pompom centers and backward drooping ray petals are quite the spectacle on their tall strong stems!
The coarse green foliage mounds are hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9, growing smaller than average up to 18 inches tall and 24 inches wide, but they more than make up for their size with their exaggerated double blooms!
Planting and Application:
These frothy-topped flowers bring the color of sunshine to your perennial border or cutting garden! They combine well with any other flower color in the garden - try them with cool purples, whites, and blues for a classic Cape Cod look or with rich reds, pinks, and oranges for a hot tropical garden.
These perennials are stand-outs for your updated native or prairie-inspired gardens, too! A must-have for the Pollinator border, these repeat late-season flowering plants support butterflies, Hummingbirds, bees, and migrating pollinators!
Pot up these dreamy blooms for your porch or patio conversation pieces and adorn your front porch urns for a showy display! In the garden, these gorgeous blossoms perk up your Cottage and mixed Perennial borders! Tough enough for Rock Gardens and whimsical enough for modern plantings!
- Fully Double Centers With Bright Yellow Flowers
- Strong Stems & Repeat Flowering
- Attracts Hummingbirds, Bees & Butterflies
- Great For Summer & Fall Interest
- Showy Specimens, Mixed Plantings, Hardy & Easy to Grow
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Like all Echinacea, Lemon Drop is a tough and healthy plant that tolerates heat and drought and thrives in well-drained average garden soil - no pampering needed! These herbaceous perennials have the strongest stems in full sun and very well-drained soil. You need good drainage, regular fertility and moderate moisture access to keep those stems from falling flat.
Plant with Nature Hills Root Booster and provide a 3-4-inch layer of arborist mulch to protect and insulate their roots. Keep them Deadheaded and they will bloom all summer and often well into fall! Divide perennial clumps about every 3 to 4 years and prune back the mounds in the early spring.
- Full Sun Perennials
- Moderate Moisture Access
- Any Well-Drained Soil & Regular Fertility
- Prune Early Spring, Deadhead For More Blooms
- Deer Resistant & Drought Tolerant
Don't wait to order these! You might miss enjoying the Cone-fections™ Lemon Drop Coneflower in your garden today! Buy yours from Nature Hills Nursery before they're gone!
