'Golden Sun' coneflower (Echinacea 'Golden Sun') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. The golden-yellow petals have lightly fringed tips, and the orange cones smell sweet. Blooms open from early to late summer and draw bees and butterflies. It sits low on the menu for deer.
