  • Notes

This purple coneflower has bright yellow petals, hence, the paradox. The foliage is long and narrow, and the golden yellow flowers bloom June and July. Slow growing to 3 to 5 feet tall, and about 12 to 18 inches wide. Attracts butterflies and birds; leave the seed heads for the birds. Native to the Ozarks. Deer resistant.
