Double Dipped® Rainbow Sherbet Coneflower (Echinacea hybrid)

Double Dipped® Rainbow Sherbet Coneflower (Echinacea hybrid) is a vibrant double-flowered echinacea known for its unique blend of soft pastel tones, including peach, pink, and cream. The fully double blooms create a layered, textured look that adds depth and visual interest to sunny garden spaces. Flowering from early summer into fall, this variety delivers long-lasting colour and strong garden presence throughout the growing season.

This coneflower features sturdy upright stems that hold the blooms well above the foliage, making it ideal for borders, pollinator gardens, and cut flower arrangements. The unusual colour shifts across blooms give a “rainbow sherbet” effect, making it a standout focal point in mixed perennial plantings. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvia, rudbeckia, and other sun-loving perennials.

In Alberta, this echinacea performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and highly adaptable to Prairie conditions. It attracts bees and butterflies while remaining relatively low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly landscapes.
