Double Coded® 'Coral Cranberry' Coneflower (Echinacea)

(Coneflower) Echinacea 'Coral Cranberry' is a vibrant, summer-blooming perennial that brings bold color and pollinator activity to sunny gardens. This unique coneflower variety produces fully double, bright cranberry-pink blooms that stand out in mid to late summer, offering a lush, textured look that's both eye-catching and long-lasting. Unlike traditional coneflowers, 'Coral Cranberry' has a more compact and rounded form, reaching about 18–20 inches tall and 16–20 inches wide, making it perfect for borders, containers, or mass plantings. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, this echinacea thrives in full sun, though it can tolerate light shade. For the best performance and bloom production, plant in sunny locations with well-drained soil. It adapts to various soil types and is drought tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners. This variety is deer resistant and its blooms are attractive to bees, butterflies, and songbirds, especially if you allow the spent flower heads to dry, offering seeds for birds in late summer and fall. 'Coral Cranberry' combines beautifully with other sun-loving perennials like allium, heuchera, phlox, and veronica, ideal for adding vibrant color, structure, and wildlife interest to any garden. Echinacea 'Coral Cranberry' is part of the Proven Winners® Perennial collection.
