Echinacea purpurea Cone-fection ‘Pink Double Delight’
Echinacea purpurea 'Pink Double Delight' is a shorter purple coneflower with fully-double pink flowers.
Fully double pompon flowers in bright, clear pink that fade to mauve as they mature. Short and well branched to just two feet. Numerous upright stems. From the Cone-fections Series which offers reliably hardy, very floriferous, stocky plants with strong sturdy stems. Wonderful planted en masse and superb as a cut flower. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
