Echinacea CARA MIA™ 'Yellow'

This yellow Coneflower plant is a standout member of the CARA MIA™ series, selected for its exceptional crown count and uniquely vibrant double blooms. Young flowers open with a cheerful lemon-yellow “skirt” of petals surrounding a fresh green central button. As they mature, the centre transforms into a full, fluffy yellow pompom, creating an eye-catching display.

Extremely floriferous, Echinacea CARA MIA™ 'Yellow' delivers an extended flowering season from June through October, keeping your garden bright and sunny for months on end. Regular deadheading of spent blooms will further encourage continuous, abundant flowering throughout the season.

A compact dwarf Coneflower reaching up to 50 cm in height, it boasts larger blooms and superior foliage compared to most dwarf varieties. CARA MIA Yellow Coneflower plant forms neat, upright clumps that are perfect for perennial borders and beds, wildflower and informal gardens, and truly spectacular when planted in masses. Its compact size also makes it ideal for patio planters and container displays, bringing vibrant colour to smaller spaces.

With strong stems and long-lasting blooms, CARA MIA Yellow Echinacea makes an excellent cut flower. Butterflies are irresistibly drawn to its bright blossoms, and if you leave some spent flowers standing over winter, birds will visit to enjoy the dried seed heads.

Hardy to Zone 4, this vigorous, low-maintenance cultivar thrives in full sun and adapts well to both dry and moist soils, provided they are well-drained. Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, CARA MIA Yellow Coneflower is widely regarded as one of the finest double yellow coneflowers available.

It’s hard to imagine a perennial garden without a sunny yellow coneflower. Cara Mia means “My Dear” in Italian - and that is exactly what your neighbours will say when they see these radiant blooms in your garden.
