Product Description
Echinacea 'Rainbow Sherbet' PPAF (30)ct Flat
DOUBLE DIPPED™ Series
Common Name: Coneflower
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.
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.
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.
Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced, and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best, but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant. If properly cared for, they will form attractive colonies and will live for many years.
