Echinacea purpurea 'Pink Double Delight' (PBR) (Cone-fections Series)
coneflower
A compact cultivar that has large, sugar-pink, double-flowers with drooping ray florets which develop lavender tones as they age. 'Pink Double Delight' bears its pom-pom-like blooms above dark green, toothed leaves and is great for adding late summer colour to the garden while providing interest for birds and bees. A great plant for containers or cottage and prairie style planting schemes.
How to care for Echinacea purpurea Pink Double Delight (PBR) (Cone-fections Series):
Plant Echinacea directly into well-prepared borders or larger pots and containers, spacing them at 15-20cm (6-8in) intervals. Water well after planting and while they are in active growth.
The seed heads are attractive, and are a valuable food source for birds during the cooler months, so avoid cutting them back (to just above soil level) until late winter. Over time, it will form larger clumps with more flowering stems, so they can be lifted and divided in autumn or spring to maintain vigour and flowering performance.
Taller cultivars in exposed locations will benefit from staking.
