Deciduous Perennial Upright, Mounding in the Asteraceae Family
Fully double intense raspberry pink flowers, 4” wide, with ray petals to match. Prolific floral production seated atop dense rosettes of foliage. Broad, horizontal ray petals maximize flower size.
Echinacea 'Double Coded Raspberry Beret' is a Walters Gardens introduction (bred by Hans A. Hansen, US Plant Patent 35,404) and one of the first fully double-flowered members of the Color Coded line, marketed under its own Double Coded sub-series. Dense, 4-inch raspberry-pink pompom blooms, with broad horizontal ray petals surrounding a full center of petal-like disc florets, rise prolifically above compact, dense rosettes of green foliage. It traces to a complex cross involving 'Solar Flare', 'Little Annie', 'Julia', and 'Butterfly Kisses'. Its shorter, denser habit than most single-flowered Color Coded siblings makes it a strong front-of-border or container choice, blooming heavily from summer into fall and remaining a reliable draw for pollinators despite the fuller flower form.
Pros
Fully double, 4-inch raspberry-pink blooms, prolific all summer into fall
Compact, dense habit suits borders, containers, and mass plantings
Attracts bees and butterflies; drought tolerant once established
Fully double flowers may offer less accessible pollen/nectar than single-flowered siblings
May need division every few years to stay vigorous
Best bloom and form develop in full sun; shade can reduce flowering

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!
Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants
Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.
Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

About Ordering From The Plant Club
To secure the best prices for club members and make sure we know the current plants available from each nursery, we take orders only a couple of times a month.
Shoot us an email at help@northshoreplantclub.com, and we'll be happy to talk about plants or let you know when it's time to buy them!
No Pricing or Availability Right Now
We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region.
It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.
Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
