Echinacea
paradoxa,
yellow coneflower or Bush's Purple coneflower, resembles Pale Purple Coneflower but has yellow petals. The pretty blossoms of Yellow Coneflower consist of yellow daisy-like petals
surrounding a brown bristly center. A deep taproot allows Echinacea
paradoxa to survive in very
dry conditions like the Ozark glades but it is also happy in humus-rich garden
soil and full sun. Yellow Coneflower is visited by
nectar seeking butterflies in June and small seed eating birds in the fall.
Typically, paradoxa is seen blooming naturally on limestone glades in the Ozarks.
Echinacea paradoxa is
very attractive planted individually or as a
mass planting.
Wild Echinacea paradoxa is sometimes confused with Ratibida pinnata (prairie coneflower, grayhead coneflower), they share the common name of Yellow Coneflower but are completely different plants.
Germination of Wild Echinacea paradoxa flower seed is improved after a pretreatment of 3 to 6 weeks of cold moist stratification or when planted outside in fall/winter.
Native Yellow Coneflower is a pretty plant occurring naturally on bald knobs, dry glades, and prairies in Missouri and Arkansas. Asteraceae (Aster Family)
The map below shows areas where native Echinacea paradoxa Yellow Coneflower flowers grow wild but they can be planted and will grow over most of the mid-western and eastern US. USDA plant hardiness zones 3 to 9.
