This is deffinantly not my favorite coneflower. I bought this particular one at a local nursury about four years ago. It can take several years, as I found out, for this coneflower to double its decker. I only had a few straggly petals shooting up from the top last year. The plant itself has not even gotten much bigger. Maybe this summer it will finaly get that pritty double decker.

When bloom 1st opens, it looks a lot like a normal purple coneflower but with more (bottom) petals. The "top" petals don't begin to show up until a few days later. Bloom lasts for weeks.
