Coneflowers With Extra Layers of Petals

Double Scoop coneflowers replace the familiar raised cone with a dense center of short petals surrounded by a lower ring of longer petals. The result is a rounded, highly textured flower on an upright perennial that stays close to 2 feet tall. Eight colors give sunny gardens choices from pale lemon through orange, hot pink, strawberry red, raspberry, and cranberry.

Color in Repetition

Turn Several Plants Into a Wide Summer Display

Double Scoop Bubble Gum develops an upright mound around 2 feet tall, a nice size for repeating through the middle of a sunny perennial bed.

Planting several together creates a broad sweep of pink flowers during summer. An 18- to 22-inch spacing gives each clump room to fill out and lets neighboring flowers form a continuous display as the plants mature.

The pink blooms also sit comfortably beside ornamental grasses, salvia, sedum, bee balm, and other sun-loving perennials with contrasting flower shapes.

Double Scoop in Containers

Watermelon Deluxe Fits Patio Pots

At roughly 22 to 24 inches tall, Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe has enough height to anchor a container arrangement.

Its upright stems lift the hot pink flowers above the foliage mound, giving the plant a defined silhouette in a simple black planter.

Use a container with drainage holes and a free-draining potting mix. Container-grown coneflowers need closer attention to watering during hot weather than plants growing in the ground.

Double Scoop Coneflower Care

Give Them Sun, Drainage & Room for the Clump

Once established, Double Scoop coneflowers handle summer heat and dry periods with modest care. Good drainage promotes healthy crowns through every season.

Light

Choose a Sunny Location

Full sun supports the best flowering and upright growth. Most Double Scoop selections can handle some shade, but flower production may decrease as shade increases.

Soil

Drainage Comes First

Average garden soil that drains works well. Coneflowers tolerate clay, loam, and sandy soils, but crowns can decline in wet ground.

Water

Water Regularly During Establishment

New plants need regular moisture as roots develop. Established coneflowers tolerate periods of drought, but supplemental water helps during extended dry spells.

Deadheading

Remove Faded Blooms for More Flowers

Snipping off spent flowers keeps plants tidy and can encourage additional bloom. Leave some later flower heads in place if you want seeds available for birds.

Fertilizer

Feed Lightly

Coneflowers rarely need heavy feeding. Compost or a modest spring application of balanced slow-release fertilizer is usually sufficient in average garden soil.

Winter Cleanup

Leave Some Stems for Winter

Spent stems and seed heads can remain through winter for texture and bird activity. Cut old growth near the ground before fresh shoots emerge in spring.

Beyond the Garden Bed

Flowers for Pollinators, Bouquets & Birds

Double Scoop coneflowers have a long season of interest, spanning summer bloom through the seed-head stage.

Summer Pollinator Activity

Bees and butterflies visit coneflower blooms during the flowering season, adding movement to sunny perennial and wildlife gardens.

Fresh & Dried Flowers

Upright stems and highly textured flowers work well in fresh arrangements. Blooms can also be dried for longer-lasting indoor displays.

Seed Heads for Birds

Leave a portion of the late-season flowers standing. Mature seed heads provide garden texture and give birds another reason to visit.
