Double Scoop Coneflowers turn the familiar echinacea flower into a fuller summer display with layered, pom-pom centers and saturated shades of pink, red, orange, and lemon yellow. Compact upright plants fit easily into sunny borders, pollinator gardens, cutting beds, and patio containers.

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.
Layered pom-pom centers give Double Scoop flowers a dense shape and fun texture for borders, containers, and cut-flower gardens.
Most selections mature around 22 to 26 inches tall, a nice height for the middle of a border behind lower-growing perennials.
Heat tolerance and drought tolerance after establishment help these coneflowers continue performing through sunny summer weather.
The collection moves from soft yellow into orange, pink, and red tones, making flower color the easiest place to begin when choosing a variety.
Most selections share a similar shape, so flower color and the slightly shorter Deluxe habit are the main differences to consider.
| Variety | Flower Color | Mature Size | Best Effect | Why Choose It |

| Double Scoop Lemon Cream | Pale lemon yellow | 24–26" H × 16–22" W | Light summer color | Softest flower shade in the collection |
| Double Scoop Mandarin | Saturated orange | 24–26" H × 16–22" W | Warm-color borders | Clear orange tone with a full double center |
| Double Scoop Orangeberry | Orange-red | 24–26" H × 16–22" W | Orange-red accent | Bridges orange and red color schemes |
| Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe | Hot pink | 22–24" H × 18–20" W | Containers / front-middle border | Compact Deluxe habit with a dark eye against hot pink petals |
| Double Scoop Bubble Gum | Saturated pink | 24–26" H × 16–22" W | Mass planting | Clear pink color for larger repeated plantings |
| Double Scoop™ Strawberry Deluxe | Strawberry red | 22–24" H × 18–20" W | Mixed beds / containers | Compact habit with rich strawberry-red blooms |
| Double Scoop Raspberry | Raspberry red | 24–26" H × 16–22" W | Deep summer color | Rich red-pink tone with a dense pom-pom center |

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.
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.
Once established, Double Scoop coneflowers handle summer heat and dry periods with modest care. Good drainage promotes healthy crowns through every season.
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.
Average garden soil that drains works well. Coneflowers tolerate clay, loam, and sandy soils, but crowns can decline in wet ground.
New plants need regular moisture as roots develop. Established coneflowers tolerate periods of drought, but supplemental water helps during extended dry spells.
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.
Coneflowers rarely need heavy feeding. Compost or a modest spring application of balanced slow-release fertilizer is usually sufficient in average garden soil.
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.

A compact 22- to 24-inch selection with upright hot pink flowers.
Dense green foliage supports deep strawberry-red summer flowers.
Rich raspberry-red flowers sit above a tidy upright clump.
Orange pom-pom blooms add warm color to this compact plant.
Double Scoop coneflowers have a long season of interest, spanning summer bloom through the seed-head stage.
Bees and butterflies visit coneflower blooms during the flowering season, adding movement to sunny perennial and wildlife gardens.
Upright stems and highly textured flowers work well in fresh arrangements. Blooms can also be dried for longer-lasting indoor displays.
Leave a portion of the late-season flowers standing. Mature seed heads provide garden texture and give birds another reason to visit.
