Prima Saffron Coneflower is a compact freely branching native perennial with strong upright stems that do not need staking and aromatic dark green foliage. Heavy blooms of fragrant vibrant orange flowers with large raised cones begin in early summer continue until the first frost. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
