Coneflower, Guatemala Gold

Guatemala Gold Coneflower brings warm, richly saturated golden-yellow blooms to the summer and fall border in the classic coneflower form—broad, sunward-facing petals surrounding a prominent dark center that provides essential late-season food for birds. Growing 24 to 36 inches tall with a sturdy, upright habit, it reliably draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds throughout its long season and earns its place as both a garden ornament and an ecological workhorse. The flowers open in midsummer and continue through fall, with the dark seed cones persisting into winter for extended wildlife value after the last petals have fallen. Fall color transitions through warm shades of golden yellow and copper-bronze, making it a genuinely four-season contributor to the border. Deer, rabbits, and most garden pests leave it alone, and it thrives in the challenging root zone of black walnut trees. A golden-hued coneflower that earns its keep from the first summer bloom to the last winter seedhead.
