The Echinacea 'Pink Double Delight', Echinacea purpurea, has a shorter, more compact habit than most coneflowers. A profusion of bright bubblegum pink, pompon-like, double flowers are produced on strong, well-branched stems from mid summer through early fall! The large 3 inch flowers are long-lasting, turning lavender pink as they age. Flowers are consistently double and are double right away upon blooming. The stems are sturdy and numerous, for a full appearance in containers and in the garden. Shorter than Razzmatazz and Double Decker, and blooms sooner with double flowers from the start.
Pink Double Delight is known for its large flower heads that turn to seed in the fall. A great choice for cut flowers, adding a wilderness look to your garden. Not only is it a prized perennial for many gardeners, but also a potent medicine. It has been reported that Echinacea increases immune function, reduces the effects of colds and flu’s, fight off viral, bacterial and fungal infections and purify the blood and flush waste.
