If you are looking for golden blooms all summer long, Ratibida pinnata (Yellow Coneflower) will not disappoint you. Tall, this slender Coneflower features showy daisy blossoms with drooping, golden-yellow rays, 3 in. long (7 cm), surrounding a prominent, roundish to ellipsoid, gray central disk that turns brown as it matures. When bruised, the disk exudes a scent reminiscent of anise. This beautiful ensemble rises atop stiff, upright, hairy stems and a healthy foliage of pinnately divided, coarse leaves.
