Double Dipped® Strawberry Slushie Coneflower is not your average Echinacea. This beauty produces large, fully double, pom-pom-style blooms in saturated strawberry pink, layered with wide, overlapping petals for a lush, almost dahlia-like effect. Each flower sits proudly on strong, well-branched stems that don't flop under the weight of their showy heads. Blooming from midsummer into late summer—and often beyond—it keeps the garden lively when many perennials start to fade. If bold color and texture are on your must-have list, this one delivers in full.
With a compact height averaging 16–18 inches and a spread of 20–24 inches, Double Dipped® Strawberry Slushie Coneflower fits beautifully into the middle of the border, mixed perennial beds, and prairie-style plantings. Its mounded habit of dark green foliage creates a tidy base that highlights the vibrant blooms. Bees and butterflies flock to coneflowers, making this a pollinator magnet in sunny landscapes. It's also deer resistant, drought tolerant once established, and adaptable to a range of soil types—from average to less-than-perfect. In other words, it's high-impact without being high-maintenance.
As a native North American perennial (Echinacea), this coneflower brings resilience along with beauty. Leave the spent blooms in fall and you'll be rewarded with architectural dried seed heads that add winter interest and provide food for finches and other birds. The flowers are also excellent for fresh-cut arrangements and dried bouquets, extending their usefulness beyond the garden bed. Whether planted in mass or tucked into a cottage-style border, Double Dipped® Strawberry Slushie Coneflower adds cheerful, long-lasting color with strong landscape performance. It's summer sweetness—no blender required.
