The cheery yellow flowers on Sombrero Lemon Yellow coneflower add a punch of vibrant color to the garden. Wide, overlapping petals ensure that the flower's bold color makes a big impact. Plus, like other coneflowers, this is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and deer-resistant perennial that performs beautifully with little-to-no care. Birds, butterflies, and bees love these flowers. Remember to keep some of the old flowers up in fall and winter for visual interest and to feed the birds!

Sombrero Lemon Yellow has a more compact growth habit than other coneflower varieties. It will prove to be an essential part of any cut-flower garden, and adapts to a variety of conditions. Try it in a location that doesn’t get much care or maintenance, an exposed garden where other perennials won’t hold up, a wildflower installation, or in a cheery cottage garden.
