Echinacea SUNSEEKERS® ‘Golden Sun’

Description:
Echinacea SUNSEEKERS® ‘Golden Sun’ is a bold and luminous coneflower variety, bred for its vibrant golden-yellow blooms and compact, well-branched form. This cultivar is part of the SUNSEEKERS® series, known for delivering consistently high flower counts and a long blooming season. Each daisy-like flower features a prominent central cone and layered, golden petals that bring a warm, sunny presence to any garden bed or container. Flowering from late spring into early autumn, this hardy perennial is well-suited to Melbourne gardens, thriving in full sun and preferring well-drained soil. It handles periods of dryness once established and is an excellent choice for mixed perennial borders or wildlife-friendly plantings.
