Echinacea x Sombrero Lemon Yellow 1G

(Coneflower)

Sombrero® Series

‘Lemon Yellow’ is the kind of coneflower that brightens a border instantly. Its clean, citrus‑yellow petals stay vibrant through heat, humidity, and long summer days — but the real magic is how pollinators respond. The open, daisy‑like structure gives butterflies and bees an easy landing pad, and the nectar is accessible even to smaller native bees.

As a native selection, it carries the genetics that Mid‑Atlantic pollinators instinctively recognize. It blooms from late spring into late summer, bridging the early‑season rush and the mid‑season slowdown. Once established, it’s drought‑tolerant, deer‑tolerant, and a dependable nectar hub for butterflies, bees, and seed‑loving birds.
