Yellow Coneflowers
Aside from the always spectacular yellow coneflower (Echinacea paradoxa) seen further below, I was always wary of some of the first hybrid yellow coneflowers (Echinacea hybrida) for a couple reasons. The earliest selections were fairly light yellow in coloration and faded out quickly with older flowers looking washed out very quickly. More recent developments though have made for some solid performers with a deeper yellow to gold coloration and minimal fading as flowers age. Here’s a nice assortment of some of the more popular selections.
