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.

Coneflower will tolerate almost any soil type but boggy and highly acidic. It loves full sun. It is suitable for mixed borders with perennials, or can be used as a flowering feature among low shrubs and conifers, and looks lovely when planted in a mass in a container on patios and balconies. Fully hardy to min. -34°C (USDA zone 4).
