Echinacea paradoxa, also known as the yellow coneflower is a type of purple coneflower that is named for its unique display of color. This varietal is native to Oklahoma, where it was prized by Native Americans for its beauty and medicinal qualities. Each daisy-shaped blossom has over a dozen narrow, drooping yellow petals that radiate from a coppery brown cone. With tall stems and long, sword-like, deep green leaves, this perennial is a brightly colored delight that can extend up to 3 feet tall. The sweetly scented blossoms are perfect for cutting, and they add liveliness to a rustic bouquet.
Yellow Coneflower Is Extremely Hardy
The plant is a hardy, self-sowing plant that grows easily in most regions of the continental United States. These flowers make a charming addition to meadows and wildflower or pollinator gardens, and the flowers can thrive in the presence of deer or other animals. The blossoms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, goldfinches, and other pollinators who enjoy feeding on their nectar, pollen, and seed heads.
Caring For Yellow Coneflower
Echinacea paradoxa grows and flowers best in full sunlight. This drought- and heat-tolerant plant is easy to care for. It can adjust to multiple types of dirt, but it likes well-drained, alkaline, or clay soil best. To find water and nourishment, the plant generates a long taproot that extends deep into the earth. In extremely dry conditions, the flowers should be watered enough to moisten these taproots.
The Ozark cornflower peaks in early to mid-summer and continues to bloom as the months progress into fall. To encourage lush and frequent blooming while keeping plants neat, gardeners can deadhead faded flowers. As the weather turns colder, mulching plants can help to insulate them from low temperatures. Plants that take hold in the spring or early summer and establish a strong root system should be able to survive the winter.
Where To Grow Yellow Coneflower
Yellow coneflowers can be grown outdoors from seed that is planted in the fall. They naturally germinate in cold, moist soil and take a year or two to bloom. They can also be grown in well-drained, tall containers. If you fertilize them once a month and give them plenty of sun, these potted plants can grow almost anywhere. However you choose to plant them, these flowers will brighten your day.
