Coneflower

Echinacea 'Sunrise'

Large overlapping true yellow petals on top of perfect foliage and strong stems make this plant solid. Part of the Big Sky Series, this plant rightfully deserves its name for its strong yellow color and outstanding performance.

Echinacea 'Sunrise' sports citron yellow flowers, the same color as Coreopsis v.'Moonbeam'. The central cone starts out green and then widens and turns gold as it ages. 'Sunrise' has full blossoms due to the wide flower petals that are slightly reflexed and overlap.
