 Echinacea purpurea
'Pink Double Delight'
Double Coneflower PPAF, PVR
Echinacea purpurea
can now be found in a rainbow of colors and many flower forms, from graceful
singles to doubles that look like dancing ballerinas. Echinacea ‘Pink Double Delight’ was
developed by Dick and Frenk Maas of the Netherlands and grows 18-24” tall and
is a floriferous cultivar with large bright pink blooms. These blooms have a
powder-puff center ringed with longer reflexed petals. ‘Double Delight’ is
similar to ‘Razzamatazz’ except that it is shorter and more compact with strong
stems capable of holding up these large 3” blooms. This cultivar has been
tested to do great in the Texas heat and humidity! Keep Echinacea
deadheaded during the summer for a longer blooming season, but leave some
flowerheads to dry in the fall to supply food for the finches and other
birds.
