Double Pink Echinacea is an upright free-branching native perennial with strong stems that do not need staking and dark green foliage. Double Pink Echinacea has huge 5” fragrant flowers with double rows of pale rose-pink downward arching petals and an orange center cones that bloom from late spring to late summer, and occasionally an additional bloom in fall. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed.
