The pretty blossoms of Yellow (Coneflower) consists of bright skirts of hard to find yellow daisy-like petals surrounding a brown bristly center. This variety's deep taproot allows the coneflower to survive in very dry conditions, but it is also happy in humus-rich garden soil and full sun. The Yellow Coneflower is visited by nectar seeking butterflies in June and small seed eating birds in the fall.

Pests & Diseases
Aster yellows, powdery mildew, Botrytis, and crown rot affect coneflowers. Green, distorted flower cones and excessive leafy growth indicate aster yellows; the plant cannot be cured and should be removed promptly. Control leafhoppers and weeds, divide crowded clumps, and keep winter moisture away from crowns.
Monitor coneflower for aphids, thrips, mites, beetles, slugs, and chewing caterpillars. Remove badly infested growth, use physical controls first, and apply labeled treatments outside pollinator-active hours.

Its Role in the Native Ecosystem
Yellow Coneflower (Ratibida pinnata) attracts bees and supports silvery checkerspot caterpillars and some moths. Goldfinches eat its mature seeds. Its tall, slender stems add a flowering layer among prairie grasses; keeping some seed heads intact lets birds benefit after the yellow petals fade.
