Yellow My Darling Echinacea is a native perennial that freely branches with sturdy stems and dark green foliage. The large fragrant flowers with dark yellow cones open rich yellow then soften to creamy yellow as they age and bloom from mid to late summer. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
