Echinacea purpurea PollyNation™ Golden Summer Mix | Coneflower

Large flowers with striking golden and warm-toned hues.
PollyNation™ Golden Summer Mix is a vibrant, first-year-flowering coneflower blend that brings sunny brilliance to garden beds, borders, and pots. These FastraX perennials produce strong, well-branched plants that thrive in heat and drought, making them perfect for both professional growers and home gardeners.

Each plant produces large, daisy-like blooms in shades of gold, amber, apricot, and soft pink, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators all summer long. Even when late-sown, this variety matures beautifully in its second season — with more abundant, vigorous growth.
