This collection of coneflowers will certainly "catch your eye!" These single flowering varieties come in bold colors, better basal branching compared to older genetics, fairly compact, with large flowers and horizontal petals. These pollinator friendly perennials are a must-have addition to your sun garden!
'Canary Feathers' has large 5" bright yellow flowers are well-branched and contrast well with the dark green foliage. Color lightens slightly but holds its color better than other yellow varieties. Replaces 'Canary' in our catalog.
Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.

Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant. If properly cared for, they will form attractive colonies and will live for many years.
