Gardeners, I am here to tell you that you must get double coded. You’re probably thinking there must be a security breach affecting the landscape. I assure you it is a cupcake. At least it looks like a cupcake and there are two colors. The names Butter Pecan and Raspberry Beret sound good enough to eat, but I assure you, it is as though these new coneflowers were on the dessert menu for the landscape.
As you might be guessing, Double Coded is the name for two new hybrid echinacea making their debut as part of the Color Coded series, one of the hottest groups of coneflowers being introduced by Proven Winners. Double Coded obviously tells you these are double-flowered varieties, and I promise you will not be disappointed. That is unless you let your neighbors beat you to the checkout line.
The Double Coded Butter Pecan is called melon in its color description. It shows off different shades of yellow as it goes through the aging process, leaning toward a rich pastel. The Double Coded Raspberry Beret yields various shades of pink finishing with a rich vibrant raspberry color.
