Double Decker Echinacea offers a delightful twist on the classic coneflower with its unique, double-layered blooms. This perennial features soft pink petals encircling a vibrant orange cone, and in the second year, a second layer of smaller petals often emerges on top of the cone, creating its distinctive "double-decker" appearance. Hardy and low-maintenance, this variety is drought-tolerant and thrives in sunny locations. Perfect for pollinator gardens, Double Decker Echinacea attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects while adding lasting beauty to your garden.

Echinacea - Double Decker Seeds
Start Echinacea seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed them outdoors in the fall. To improve germination for indoor planting, cold stratify the seeds by placing them in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag or container, then refrigerate for 1-2 weeks.
Sow seeds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep and cover lightly with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days, though it may take longer in cooler temperatures.
After the last frost, transplant seedlings to a sunny location, spacing plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart.
