Double Coded® Raspberry Beret Echinacea — Echinacea 'Raspberry Beret'

Double Coded® Raspberry Beret Echinacea (Echinacea 'Raspberry Beret') is a showstopping native coneflower that reinvents the classic prairie perennial with an extraordinary fully double flower form — a well-branching GA native perennial with strong, sturdy upright stems and deep green foliage, producing large, richly colored bright pink fully double flowers with distinctive raspberry pink pompom cones that bloom prolifically from midsummer into fall, with the bloom season extendable all the way to frost through regular deadheading. The bold, lush double flower form and rich raspberry-pink coloring set Raspberry Beret apart from single-flowered coneflowers, creating a dramatic, garden-worthy display that butterflies and bees find irresistible. Spent stems left standing through winter provide important bird forage as the seeds mature — making it an outstanding choice for wildlife and native gardens. Heat and drought tolerant once established in full sun with well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 4.
