The Mellow Yellows eastern purple coneflower is a unique perennial that is easy to grow. It produces stunning flowers that shine with various shades of yellow, from light and creamy, to bright saffron-like colour. It flowers reliably every season from June to the beginning of autumn. Erect tufts of this plant consist of lanceolate leaves and grow up to 80 centimetres tall. The spreading shoots that end with beautiful flowers that are built of golden petals and darker centres constitute a great attraction for bees and butterflies. The variety that we present here is a great companion for border plants who produce contrastingly coloured flowers. We recommend combining them with larkspurs, phloxes, yarrows, and the taller gladioli. A golden Echinacea looks great with subtle tufts of ornamental grasses. A group of several eastern purple coneflower varieties planted on a lawn or next to a herb garden constitutes a wonderful idea for a long blooming, elegant decoration. Mellow Years can also be planted in containers that can cheer up the home entrance or a balcony. Stalks adorned with flowers can also be used as unique cut flowers.

A rather tolerant eastern purple coneflower thrives in the sun, on a sheltered site. It prefers fertile, humous, moderately moist soil. Planting Echinacea in 50-centimetre spacings bring satisfying visual effect. Spring is the recommended time for planting tubers. This perennial is easy to grow. It does not fall to diseases and does not require much maintenance. It blooms reliably and abundantly every year.
