With a compact, upright habit and remarkably strong stems, this drought-tolerant coneflower makes a striking addition to sunny beds and borders. Its unusual orange-yellow cones are petal free, giving the blooms a sculptural, modern look that holds up well in the garden or a vase. Plants grow to up to 28″ and produce multiple stems topped with long-lasting blooms that are a hit with pollinators. Hairy foliage adds texture, and the extended bloom time keeps the display going through the season.
