Echinacea Double Scoop™ Mandarin is a free-flowering, long-blooming, showy perennial offering early to late summer interest, with sporadic bloom into fall. Having unusually clear, seemingly fluorescent color, the 4-inch double pompoms appear in an eye-catching, brilliantly vibrant shade of dark orangey red. Long lasting, they take on dark rosy tones with age, enhancing their beauty.

Borne on short, exceptionally stocky stems, Echinacea Double Scoop™ Mandarin's flowers are held upright, making excellent cut flowers. In the garden, they attract butterflies and bees; and the dried end-of-season seed heads provide food for songbirds and add garden interest as well, especially when dusted in freshly fallen snow.

This herbaceous plant, also known as a coneflower, has an upright, clumping habit of clean, dark green leaves, more compact than other varieties, and a consistent, vigorous growth rate. Its superior branching means more flower buds, more flowers, and a longer duration of blooms. Deadheading is not required but will promote even more blooms.

Easy to grow, Echinacea Double Scoop™ Mandarin prefers full sun and average to fertile, well-drained soil. It tolerates poor soils, but good drainage is essential. It is deer resistant and drought and heat tolerant. Cold hardy, it overwinters well. Consider planting in large groups in beds and borders or singly as a specimen in a patio pot.
