A good article. There are many lovely colours available. However, aphids DO attack cone flowers. I have had to deal with a heavy infestation of red aphids on my yellow coneflowers this year. Never had them before and after running my fingers up the stems (so gross even with gloves on) and giving them a mild soapy bath, they finally subsided. It did take a few days of repeated treatments to be rid of them.
