Echinacea purpurea seeds: Double Decker
"Cone Flower"

Echinacea Double Decker is a very unusual purple-red flowered variety that produces predominantly single flowers in the first growing season. Then it's followed by a high percentage of these visually stunning 'twin' flowers in the second season, with the chance that some may even be fully double. These intriguing flowers grace tall, strong stems and make superb long lasting border perennials, attracting many beneficial insects to your garden.
