Coneflower

Echinacea 'Double ScoopTM Orangeberry' PP23,145; US7,982,110

Large, double flowers with a raspberry center cushion surrounded by orange flared petals.

A new series of Coneflower bred to produce well-branched, sturdy and compact plants with excellent hardiness. This selection produces large, double flowers with a raspberry centre cushion surrounded by orange flared petals. Ideal for sunny borders and growing in mixed containers. Attractive to butterflies. Excellent for cutting. Coneflowers begin blooming midsummer and continue for months if faded flowers are regularly removed. However keeping some dried flower heads on the plants in fall will provide food for wintering song birds. Dried seed heads also add interest to the winter garden. USPP#23145: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
