Echinacea ‘Harvest Moon’ PPAF — commonly called Harvest Moon Coneflower — is a compact, long-blooming perennial valued for its soft golden-yellow flowers with prominent orange-brown cones that appear from early summer into fall. Dark green, slightly coarse foliage forms a tidy, well-branched clump and remains attractive through the season, sometimes developing muted tones in fall. Its upright, sturdy habit and abundant blooms make it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, and pollinator gardens.
