Echinacea Rainbow Sherbet

Common Name: Coneflower

DOUBLE DIPPED® Echinacea have large, fully double 4½" flowers with wide, overlapping ray petals. Each variety has substantial landscape size at 2-2½' tall, perfect for the middle of the border. Strong, well-branched stems support the large, numerous heavy flowers with ease. Mounded habit of dark green foliage. Best performance comes in full sun and well-drained soils.

4½" pompom flowers with wide, overlapping ray petals. Flowers open orange before transitioning to a coral pink with matching ray petals. The color shift gives the impression of two different flower colors on the plant at once.

Praised for their cheerful brightly colored 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.
