Double Dipped®
DOUBLE DIPPED® ‘Raspberry Ripple’ Echinacea produces large, fully double raspberry-pink blooms with dark central cones atop sturdy, well-branched stems. Reaching 2–2½ feet tall, its mounded habit and long-lasting flowers make it an excellent choice for the middle of the border. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this coneflower also provides winter interest and a valuable food source for birds when seed heads are left in place.

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.
