Echinacea x Guatemala Gold 1G

(Coneflower)

GUATEMALA™ Gold

‘Guatemala Gold’ brings a sunrise‑bright yellow you rarely get from compact coneflowers—clean, luminous, and impossible to miss. Its short stature (9–12”) makes it a natural fit for the front of the border, where its golden discs glow against green foliage and pull pollinators in from across the garden.

But color is only the beginning. Blooming from late spring into early summer, it steps in just as many natives pause, offering nectar and pollen when butterflies and native bees are ramping up their season. As a native selection, it carries the ecological reliability gardeners expect from coneflowers—plus a surprising tolerance for heat, sun, and average soils.

Deer tend to leave it alone, birds relish the seedheads, and its compact footprint makes it ideal for small gardens, containers, and tight pollinator plantings. Plant it, and you’re giving wildlife a dependable golden signal at the start of summer.
