Just got the yellow cone flower this year, and I love it! I also got the orange one but I won't see it bloom this year cause the rabbits got it!

Annie, that is lovely!!

I love coneflowers but only have the purple ones and mine don't bloom until August. I didn't know they came in yellow and I just love yellow in the garden it is so cheerful. Do u know what zone the yellows are hardy to?

I love that yellow coneflower. This is the first time I've seen one. I'll have to look for it!

All the flowers are just beautiful! I just picked up an orange coneflower, and a really dark fuschia colored one - but I want that yellow :wink:

Ya know, I don't have any of the cone flowers, either.....Your's are pretty! I think Inever bought any cause they spread so much, and I am afraid of that...

Thanks for sharing!! :D

LOVE that yellow echinacea. I bought one earlier this year, but it didn't make it. I'll have to look for one in a gallon instead of a puny 4" pot, hopefully it'll be better off. That color of yellow is wonderful!

Very, very pretty Annie! I bought 'Sunset', the orange, earlier this year but haven't seen 'Sunrise', the yellow, anywhere. I know we're in the same general area, where did you find yours?

I found it at Hoerr's.
They still had several more last time I was there, ( couple of days ago) but kinda pricey. Thats why I only have one LOL.

As for where they are hardy, I would assume just like the purple kind. guess I could read the tag LOL. If I still have it, I'll check on it.
