Echinacea paradoxa
Yellow Coneflower
A Missouri and Ozark Mountain native, Echinacea paradoxa or yellow coneflower boasts large, bright yellow flowerheads and is the only yellow-blooming species of echinacea. Its sweetly fragrant, daisy-like blooms appear in midsummer and have yellow petals that droop and surround a brown central cone. Butterflies and bees frequent its blossoms and small seed-eating birds will feast on its dried flowerheads. Best flower display is mid-June to mid-July, sometimes with continued bloom throughout the summer.
Additional:

Yellow Coneflower Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Plants usually rebloom without deadheading, however removal of spent flowers improves appearance.
