DOUBLE SCOOP™ Series

Such a rare color for Echinacea, this selection boasts saturated cranberry red, double pom-pom flowers that don’t bleach out as they age, putting on a sizzling hot show of color in the landscape for several months beginning in early summer.

This plant is compact with a well-branched, strong and bushy habit. Ideal for sunny borders and growing in mixed containers.

Praised for their cheerful brightly coloured flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today’s garden. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.
