Echinacea purpurea Pink Double Delight (Coneflower)

Incredibly eye-catching, Echinacea purpurea 'Pink Double Delight' is an exquisite beauty with its pom-pom double Coneflowers! Well-branched, 'Pink Double Delight' produces abundant bright pink flowers, up to 3 in. wide (7 cm) with drooping rays that stick out from the fully double central cone like a formal pink pettiskirt. Blooming from midsummer until frost, this compact Coneflower is free flowering and has sturdy flower stems that are perfect for cutting. This dwarf perennial is an eye-catching addition to perennial borders, small gardens, or patio containers.

• Grows up to 16-20 in. tall (40-50 cm) and 12 in. wide (30 cm). Will freely self-seeds if at least some seed heads are left in place.
• Thrives in full sun in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerant to drought, heat, and humidity.
• Perfect choice for beds and borders, prairies and meadows, wildflower gardens, or cottage gardens. Excellent as cut flowers. 
• No serious pest or disease issues. Double flowers may not be as attractive to butterflies and birds as single flowers. Deer resistant.
• Remove spent flowers and cut back the stems to encourage further blooms. Deadheading will help them grow and thrive.
• Propagate by division in spring or fall or by root cuttings from late fall to early winter.
