Echinacea purpurea ‘Mellow Yellows’, commonly known as Mellow Yellows Coneflower, is a long-blooming perennial prized for its cheerful buttery yellow flowers with prominent copper-orange cones. Blooming from early summer into fall, this vibrant coneflower adds warm color, texture, and lasting beauty to the landscape while attracting butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators. Its sturdy stems and abundant blooms make it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, and fresh or cut flower arrangements.
This low-maintenance perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, where it develops excellent drought and heat tolerance once established. Mellow Yellows Coneflower is deer resistant and well suited for pollinator gardens, water-wise landscapes, prairie-style plantings, and native-inspired gardens. As the flowers mature, the seed heads provide a valuable food source for songbirds, extending the plant’s seasonal interest well into fall and winter.
Perfect for landscape borders, mass plantings, cottage gardens, meadow gardens, and foundation plantings, Echinacea purpurea ‘Mellow Yellows’ pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, black-eyed Susans, and other sun-loving perennials.
