Instead of a dark smooth disk, these varieties have fluffy yellow disk flowers in their centers. Although these disk flowers look like ray flowers, they do produce pollen and seeds.
'Goldsturm' orange coneflower is significant in its compact habit and 1-2-inch golden-yellow petals which encircle a nearly black cone of disk flowers.
