The blooms have a rich red color and a full pom-pom style center, giving the plant a more dramatic look than classic single coneflowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a strong choice for gardeners who want summer color with a little more presence. Plant it in sunny borders, cottage gardens, pollinator beds, patio containers, curb appeal plantings, or cut-flower gardens, where the deep red blooms can stand out against green foliage and nearby perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Branching, More Flowers, and a Compact Habit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Double Scoop™ Deluxe group was bred to improve the performance of double-flowered Echinacea, with better branching, more flowers, and a compact habit compared with many older double coneflowers. Strawberry Deluxe stays in a useful landscape size range, typically around 22 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 20 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat compact habit makes it easy to use in smaller beds, containers, and front-to-mid border plantings. It has enough height to show off the double flowers without overwhelming the garden. Use it in groups of three or more for a stronger color impact, or repeat it through a sunny bed to tie the planting together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLong-Season Color for Borders, Containers, and Cutting Gardens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble Scoop™ Strawberry Deluxe Coneflower blooms in summer and can keep the garden colorful through the warmest part of the season. The red blooms pair beautifully with ornamental grasses, lavender, catmint, salvia, Russian sage, sedum, black-eyed Susans, coreopsis, yarrow, and other full-sun perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers can also be used as cut flowers or dried flowers. Their full double form adds extra texture and color to arrangements. In the landscape, the upright habit works well as a container thriller, a border accent, or a mass planting for a bold red summer display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHeat Tolerant, Drought Tolerant, and Deer Resistant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many coneflowers, Double Scoop™ Strawberry Deluxe performs best in sunny, hot locations with well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant, making it a practical perennial for summer gardens where constant watering is not realistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also considered deer-resistant, which helps in landscapes where browsing pressure is a concern. No plant is completely deer-proof, especially when deer are hungry, but coneflowers are generally a smart choice for sunny beds that need durable color, pollinator value, and lower maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy Care With the Right Site\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to success with Double Scoop™ Strawberry Deluxe Coneflower is full sun and drainage. Avoid wet, heavy soil, especially in winter, because Echinacea performs best when roots do not stay soggy. Average to lean garden soil is usually better than overly rich soil that encourages soft growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeadhead spent blooms for a tidier plant and more flower production. Leave some later-season flower heads standing if you enjoy texture and bird activity in fall and winter. Cut back old stems in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":44609543569450,"sku":"45795","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0212\/1030\/0480\/files\/double-scoop-strawberry-deluxe-coneflower-1250831044.jpg?v=1784823269","url":"https:\/\/gardengoodsdirect.com\/products\/double-scoop%e2%84%a2-strawberry-deluxe-coneflower","provider":"Garden Goods Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
