Product description
Echinacea purpurea Doubledecker, commonly known as the Doubledecker Coneflower, is a unique perennial that brings structure and vibrancy to gardens. It stands out with its two-tiered blooms, where a secondary set of petals grows atop the main flower, creating a striking appearance. The deep rose-pink petals contrast beautifully with the bold, orange-brown cone at the centre, making it an eye-catching feature for borders, beds, and wildlife-friendly gardens.
Thriving in well-drained soil under full sun, this hardy perennial is an excellent addition to UK gardens. Blooming from July to September, it provides long-lasting colour and pairs well with other late-season flowers. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant, making it a low-maintenance option for those seeking an easy yet visually impactful plant. Regular deadheading will prolong the flowering period and encourage fresh blooms.
Echinacea purpurea Doubledecker is perfect for gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with a unique and resilient plant. Its long-lasting flowers not only add a touch of charm but also attract butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Additionally, the blooms make excellent cut flowers, allowing you to enjoy their beauty indoors as well as in the garden.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering and encourage new growth. Leave some seed heads for winter interest and to attract wildlife like birds.
How to Water
Water young plants regularly during their first growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Once established, Echinacea is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering.
How to Plant
Plant Echinacea in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Space plants 30-60cm apart. Water thoroughly after planting to help them settle.
