Description
Want a perennial that brings golden color, pollinators, and easy care to your garden? Echinacea SunSeekers™ Golden Sun is your ticket to sunny borders and cheerful cut flowers. With golden-yellow, daisy-style blooms and a greenish-brown cone, this compact coneflower brightens up any space from mid-summer through fall.
Unlike taller varieties, Golden Sun stays a neat 18–22 inches tall—perfect for front-of-border plantings, containers, or mixed perennial beds. Its upright, clump-forming habit and narrow green leaves give it a clean, well-groomed look without much effort. And the bees and butterflies? They love it.
It’s also tough as nails—hardy from Zones 4 to 9, drought-tolerant once established, and deer-resistant. Plant it in full sun with well-drained soil, and it’ll reward you with months of color and minimal fuss. Plus, it makes a great cut flower—just snip and enjoy indoors.
Whether you're building a pollinator paradise or just want a splash of gold that lasts, Golden Sun lights up the garden—without lighting up your chore list.
