Plant Spacing

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

More Information

Description What does Double Dipped™ 'Rainbow Sherbet' coneflower (or Echinacea ) have in common with the dessert? More than you'd think! Bright petals boast pink and orange hues reminiscent of tropical fruits. It's best enjoyed in mid to late summer when the double flowers are in full bloom. The fruity flowers are incredibly sweet (for pollinators, not humans) and are loaded with rich nectar and pollen. The one thing they don't have in common? This perennial won't melt in the summer, unlike the sherbet that may be dripping down your arm.

Coneflowers are native perennials beloved by gardeners for their cheery flowers, pollinator-attracting power, and easy-growing nature. Their flowers attract bees and butterflies, and after they fade, seedheads provide food for birds through the winter. Since they're drought tolerant, deer resistant, and durable, they are easy to enjoy by gardeners of any level. Details How To Grow

Not worth the money

Plants have yet to grow enough to bloom.

Thank you for your feedback! It’s surprisingly normal for newly transplanted plants to appear like they aren’t growing. That’s because most of the growth occurs below ground in their first year a...

The plants came and looked very healthy, but…

My rabbits thought they looked too good to be true and chose to eat all my plants! So what remains still looks healthy and in the ground and I'm hopeful that next year if I keep the bunnies out, they will bloom beautifully! Based on the condition they arrived in and how well they did when they were first put in the ground, I would definitely buy from them again

IMPRESSED WITH SHIPPING!

IMPRESSED WITH SHIPPING! My first time ordering with this company and I was so thrilled to actually received a plant (and not a dried up root). The plant is healthy and was very safely and securely shipped. Shipping was very fast! I will order from this company again!

Coneflowers doing great

My coneflowers are in the ground and they are happy. I never thought I could buy flowers online and they would survive.
