As the flowers age they soften to a creamy yellow, and the large number of petals helps each bloom last a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt blooms from midsummer through late summer on a plant about 18 to 24 inches tall, a good size for sunny borders and pollinator gardens. It tolerates dry spells and deer tend to leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle daisy-form flowers about 3½ inches across with numerous overlapping petals in rich golden yellow, fading to creamy pale yellow as they age, around a domed orange-brown cone. Flowers sit on upright branched stems above the leaves. Foliage is dark green, lance-shaped and coarse, forming a basal clump. The plant is an upright clump 18 to 24 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide. At peak bloom it shows both bright yellow and creamy yellow flowers against the dark green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden yellow is a cheerful complement to purple lavender, and this coneflower shares lavender's love of sun and well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it full sun to light part shade and average to lean soil that drains well, especially over winter; once established it handles dry spells with little extra water. Hardy in zones 4 to 8, though like many hybrid coneflowers it can be short-lived in heavy or wet soil. Plants that head into fall with a full tuft of leaves at the base overwinter best, so avoid cutting it back hard and leave the last seed heads standing for winter birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Echinacea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich yellow aging to creamy yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–24 in tall × 16–20 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
