Echinacea Kismet Raspberry (Coneflower)

Echinacea Kismet Raspberry (Coneflower) is a compact perennial boasting a profusion of large raspberry daisies adorned with a golden-brown central cone. Blooming from early summer until frost, each flower lasts for weeks with a deep rich color. This dwarf coneflower has a strong upright habit and is excellent for perennial borders, small gardens, prairies or patio containers. Can be used in fresh cut or dried arrangements.

• Grows up to 16-18 in. tall (40-45 cm) and 24 in. wide (60 cm).
• Thrives in full sun in average, dry to medium moisture, well drained soils. Tolerant of drought, heat and humidity.
• Perfect choice for beds and borders, prairies and meadows, wildflower gardens or cottage gardens.
• Excellent as cut flowers. If flower heads are not removed in the fall, the blackened cones will be visited by birds that feed on the seeds.
• No serious pest or disease issues. Attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators, but deer resistant.
• Remove spent flowers and cut back the stems to encourage further blooms.
• Propagate by division in spring or fall or by root cuttings from late fall to early winter.
