The Double Scoop Deluxe series of Echinacea is a coneflower crew that’ll dish out double the dazzle in your Indiana Zone 6a garden—like a floral ice cream parlor with a double-dip guarantee! These perennials demand full sun (6+ hours daily), though they’ll tolerate a hint of shade like a sun-worshipper caught in a brief cloud nap. They stretch to a perky 24-30 inches tall and 18-24 inches wide, ideal for borders or pots without turning your yard into a bloom bonanza gone wild. Blooming from early summer to fall, their double-layered flowers keep scooping up the spotlight like a dessert cart on a roll.
Gardeners, dig in: they’re drought tolerant once established, scoffing at Indiana’s dry spells like a camel at a juice bar, just needing well-drained soil to dodge soggy-root tantrums. Pollinators—bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds—flock to them like it’s a nectar ice cream social, while deer and rabbits skip the line—more for you! Hardy in Zone 6a, they breeze through winter, and skipping deadheading turns seed heads into a birdie buffet—think feathered dessert time.
Now, ‘Strawberry’ is the series’ sweet-talking star. Its double, strawberry-pink blooms look like they’ve been churned from a garden soft-serve machine—lush, fruity, and twice as tempting as single coneflowers. With sturdy stems and a subtle fragrance, this low-maintenance gem lures pollinators and adds a juicy pop to your plot. ‘Strawberry’ brings a tough yet tasty vibe, making your garden a double-scoop dream—your neighbors might start drooling or wondering if you’ve secretly planted a berry patch instead!
