Description of the plant
YELLOW SKIPPER coneflower is a rich golden yellow flowering variety with 10-11 cm large flowers. They appear from early July until late September atop strong, green stems about 50-60 cm tall. The colour is vivid and deep, and combines well with purple blue sage or deep pink monardas, or you can use gauras and thin-leaved grasses to soften the clumps. Lanceolate leaves are very dark green and grow from the ground and then up along the stems. Flowers attract butterflies and bumble bees and benefit from regular deadheading.
