Say hello to the garden's little ray of sunshine: Sombrero® Lemon Yellow Improved Coneflower! With its bright yellow petals fanning out around a coppery cone, this coneflower practically beams from summer into fall. Wider, overlapping petals give it a bold, "look-at-me" vibe, while its compact, sturdy structure keeps it garden-ready without constant fuss. Perfect for borders or a pollinator paradise, it's a cheerful showstopper that's as functional as it is beautiful.
Sombrero® Lemon Yellow Improved Coneflower is as hardworking as it is gorgeous. Loaded with buds that bloom reliably without special treatment, it keeps your garden buzzing with butterflies, bees, and other beneficial visitors. Leave the spent flowers on in fall for winter seed snacks for finches—or trim them for a tidier look. Either way, this perennial knows how to keep the party going.
Hardy, low-maintenance, and naturally deer-resistant, Sombrero® Lemon Yellow Improved Coneflower thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates a range of climates, and looks stunning year after year. Its compact habit and long-lasting blooms make it a versatile choice for cottage gardens, flower beds, and even xeriscapes. Bring home a splash of sunshine and watch your garden—and your pollinators—come alive.
