Talking about Yellow Coneflower (Echinacea paradoxa), clintbrown wrote:Echinacea paradoxa is an early and one-time blooming Echinacea. I plant it at the edge of other plants so that they will hide the foliage after it is finished blooming. This plant seems to be more resistant to Aster Yellows. I have never seen it with that disease here, even when near another plant with it. |

Talking about Yellow Coneflower (Echinacea paradoxa), SongofJoy wrote:Yellow Purple Coneflower occurs in the wild only in Arkansas where it is rare. Plants are 2 to 3 1/2 feet tall with narrow elliptical leaves. Flowering begins in early summer and lasts about 4 weeks. The flower heads are daisy-like with narrow, bright, orangey-yellow rays (petals) 3 to 4 inches long that are reflexed downward and greenish brown cones.
These flowers positively glow in the sun. Give it full sun, average soil, and dryish conditions. |

Talking about Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'PowWow Wild Berry'), SongofJoy wrote:This new purple coneflower, an All-America Selections winner, differs from all the others in flower color, branching, and plant size. It packs major flower color on a compact plant for a long time. Deep rose flowers that are 3-4" wide hold their intense color longer than other coneflowers and are on branched stems that only grow to 2' or so. The plant reblooms continuously all summer without needing deadheading.
As with all the other coneflowers, give it full sun and average to dry conditions. It is easy and very rewarding. |
