Cara Mia™ Yellow Coneflower

Bring nonstop golden sunshine to your landscape with the compact and dreamy Cara Mia™ Yellow Coneflower PP31,142 (Echinacea 'TNECHCMY'). This cheerful perennial boasts saturated yellow blooms with a golden-brown cone packed full of layered petals, giving it a raised pompom look! Blooming profusely from early summer through frost, this dwarf, fragrant, reblooming Coneflower attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies while resisting deer and drought with ease.

Perfect for small spaces and containers, it shines in sunny beds with its tidy 16-20" height and mounded shape. Cara Mia™ Yellow features a strong, fibrous root system perfect for perennial borders. Upright, sturdy stems hold blooms high above its compact base, making it an excellent choice for windy spots. Its green lance-shaped leaves form a tidy, low mound with a slightly coarse texture, and though it doesn’t offer much fall color, its seed heads add winter interest and food for Finches and other songbirds.
