Echinacea Paradiso Super Duper Seeds

A vibrant echinacea with bold double centred blooms that light up the garden and attract pollinators all summer. 

 

Echinacea Paradiso Super Duper is a striking perennial that produces bold double centred blooms in rich shades of warm pink. The flowers have a full layered appearance with a central tuft surrounded by broad petals, creating a dramatic and eye catching display in summer borders. Each bloom stands proudly on strong upright stems that hold their shape beautifully in the garden.

 

This impressive variety is known for its long flowering season and excellent garden performance. The plants form sturdy clumps of fresh green foliage that provide a strong base for the tall elegant stems. The flowers are produced continuously from midsummer onwards and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

 

The blooms last well both in the garden and when cut for arrangements, making Paradiso Super Duper a versatile choice for ornamental and cutting gardens. Its rich colour and full flower form pair beautifully with grasses, salvias and other late summer perennials, bringing depth and texture to mixed borders.

 

Thriving in full sun and well drained soil, this echinacea is easy to grow and becomes more impressive each year as the clumps mature. It is drought tolerant once established and performs reliably in a wide range of garden settings.

Sowing instructions

Sow seeds on the surface of moist free draining compost and lightly cover with a fine layer of soil. Maintain gentle warmth and keep the compost evenly moist until seedlings appear. Transplant young plants into individual pots when large enough to handle. Harden off gradually and plant out after the last frost in a sunny well drained position.

 

Grow and maintenance

Water regularly during dry spells and feed occasionally to support strong flowering. Remove spent blooms to encourage continued production. Cut back the stems in late autumn once the flowers have faded or leave the seed heads in place for winter interest and wildlife value. Echinacea prefers full sun and benefits from good drainage.
