Echinacea Double Dipped ‘Rainbow Sherbet’

Echinacea Double Dipped 'Rainbow Sherbet' is a coneflower with fragrant, fully double, orange to pink flowers.

Echinacea Double Dipped ‘Rainbow Sherbet’ is a coneflower that offers fragrant, fully double, orange to pink pompom flowers 4.5 inches wide with broad, overlapping horizontal ray petals. Plants have well-branched stems to support the heavy load of flower power. To note, flowers open orange before transitioning to a coral pink with matching ray petals. A bit of magic in the garden. A mainstay in the sunny summer border, in containers, and as long lasting cut flowers. Great winter interest and seeds for over-wintering birds. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering. Pollinator attractor. Deer resistant.
