Echinacea purpurea Razzmatazz (Coneflower)

Incredibly eye-catching and popular, Echinacea 'Razzmatazz' is an exquisite beauty with its pom-pom double Coneflowers! Well-branched, 'Razzmatazz' produces abundant magenta-purple flowers with drooping rays that stick out from a rose-pink central pompom like a formal pink pettiskirt. Blooming from mid to late summer, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost, this great-looking perennial is compact, free flowering and has sturdy flower stems that are perfect for cutting.

• Grows up to 30-36 in. tall (75-90 cm) and 18-24 in. wide (45-60 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.
