Lynn I have had trouble with just about all of the Big Sky series. The Sunrise I had did the same thing. Looked yellow for about one day and faded to white right away. There is a new seed variety called Cheyenne Spirit that you might want to check out from the people that introduced Pow Wow Wildberry. They come in just about all the Ecninacea colors and are supposed to be available this spring. There are some advance pictures on the Garden web they look great.
