The Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe Coneflower is an Echinacea hybrid that introduces a bold pop of color to a landscape. The multitude of vibrant double flowers are stunning and long-lasting. The long outer petals narrow slightly near the tip and feature notched ends. The shorter inner petals surround the seed cone and have the same notched ends but are slightly curved. The dark eye stands out against the hot pink flowers.
The flowers stand on tall, branched stems that feature dark green foliage. Use this perennial to add color to a bed or border. Create a stunning mass planting that only consists of coneflowers, or use this plant as a thriller in a container. Coneflowers produce a lot of nectar, making them popular with pollinators. Foragers like deer do not favor these plants, so they are a good pick in areas with large deer populations. The Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe Coneflower is heat and drought tolerant, allowing it to look amazing all summer.
Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe Coneflower Care
Plant the Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe Coneflower in neutral, moist but well-drained soil. Coneflowers need at least six hours of daily sunlight. These plants can handle some shade, but they thrive in full sun. Regular water keeps the plants healthy and blooming, so water weekly for best results. A layer of organic compost applied each spring gives the plants the nutrients necessary for continued growth. Over-fertilizing causes leggy growth.
Deadhead the plant to encourage more flowers and extend the bloom cycle as long as possible. If left in place, birds and small animals will feed on the seed pods. You can remove the growth to ground level after the first frost or cut back dead growth in early spring.
Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe Coneflower Spacing
The showy Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe Coneflower stands 22 to 24 inches tall and spreads 18 to 20 inches wide. Space plants 20 to 22 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
