I'm pretty happy with my Pink Poodle echinacea this year, was a little worried after all the ruckus last year on the board about this one - I bought last year while blooming but was concerned the blooms would be wonky this year. It's still a small plant but seems to be healthy, and the flowers are lovely - they are a little richer in color than the photo below.

Are you sure that's not a dahlia? Doesn't look like Euchinacea to me.

That's a nice photo of E.'pink poodle'.
Is the color a darker 'pink' than your photo?

Thanks for posting the picture of your lovely Echinacea "Pink Poodle" plants. They will be bigger and even better next year. :-)

Yep, it's darker pink than the photo, but not a lot darker, and the color is richer IRL. And yes, it is an Echinacea :0)

After first disappointing blooms this year:

my Pink Poodle is doing really well too:

Another favorite is Hot Papaya. I start thinking that double Echinaceas are better than singles. Singles are horrible this year in my garden.

Thank you so much for posting the picture of your Pink Poodle Echinacea. It's gorgeous and I love the shape and color of the double flowers. It's one that I would like to add to my flower bed.
