Echinacea, DS Deluxe Watermelon - Trio of 3 plants

The Double Scoop Deluxe series of Echinacea is a coneflower lineup that’ll splash double the flavor into your Indiana Zone 6a garden—like a floral ice cream stand with a two-scoop minimum! These perennials crave full sun (6+ hours daily), though they’ll grudgingly take light shade like a sunbather stuck under a flimsy parasol. They grow to a juicy 24-30 inches tall and 18-24 inches wide, perfect for borders or pots without turning your yard into a wildflower watermelon patch gone rogue. Blooming from early summer to fall, their double-decker flowers keep rolling out like a dessert truck with endless supply.

For gardening enthusiasts, this series is a sweet deal: drought tolerant once established, they laugh off Indiana’s dry spells like a camel at a fruit stand, needing well-drained soil to avoid soggy-root sulks. Pollinators—bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds—swarm them like it’s a nectar picnic, while deer and rabbits bounce—more blooms for you! Hardy in Zone 6a, they shrug off winter’s chill, and skipping deadheading lets birds snack on seeds later—think of it as a feathered fruit feast.

Now, ‘Watermelon’ is the series’ refreshing rockstar. Its double, pinkish-red blooms with a hint of green at the base look like they’ve been sliced from a garden-grown melon—juicy, bold, and twice as fun as single coneflowers. With sturdy stems and a subtle scent, this low-maintenance champ draws pollinators and adds a summery zing to your plot. ‘Watermelon’ delivers a tough, tasty vibe—your neighbors might start licking their chops or asking if you’ve got a secret recipe for such a refreshing yard!
