Echinacea Mellow Yellow: A Soft, Sunshine-Inspired Beauty

Echinacea Mellow Yellow is a soft and cheerful variety of coneflower that brings a gentle pop of sunshine to your garden. With its striking pale yellow petals and coppery-orange cone, this perennial beauty offers a warm, inviting presence in any landscape. Mellow Yellow reaches a height of 2.5-3 feet, making it an excellent addition to flower beds, borders, and pollinator gardens.

This variety attracts bees and butterflies with its vibrant blooms and provides a lovely contrast when paired with other colorful plants. Its compact height and strong stems make it a perfect choice for mixed plantings or as a low-maintenance cut flower.

  • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
  • Prefers well-draining soil with moderate watering. Once established, Mellow Yellow is drought-tolerant.
  • Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooms throughout the season.
  • Divide every 3-4 years to maintain plant vigor and enhance flower production.

Echinacea Mellow Yellow is the perfect plant for gardeners looking to add a touch of soft elegance to their space. Its cheerful blooms and ability to attract pollinators make it a must-have for any garden!
