Echinacea SOMBRERO® LEMON YELLOW IMPROVED ('Balsomemyim' PP30116 US7,982,110)
SOMBRERO® Series
Common Name: Coneflower
SOMBRERO® Echinaceas are evenly matched for habit and timing, making them a breeze in production. They are all very well-branched, sturdy plants that bulk up quickly, do not require vernalization to bloom, and are loaded with buds for a vibrant show of color.
The SOMBRERO® Coneflowers have been some of the most popular varieties that we've offered, and now Darwin Perennials has introduced an improvement on the yellow color. Compared to the original, this variety has wider, overlapping petals and a more compact habit. Rich yellow flowers with a copper cone are produced on very well-branched, sturdy plants. This bulks up quickly and does not require vernalization to bloom.
Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.
