Description
Show off your sweet side with candy-like coneflower Echinacea purpurea 'Raspberry Truffle'. Puffed up and proud, this is true decadence in flower form. A two-tone treasure in a bonbonesque shade of apricot-pink, with petals which encircle a prize-worthy ‘truffle’ centre. When it comes to sugar-coating your perfect plant combination, this is little sweetie is the icing on the cake!
If you like your plants to be reliable, low maintenance and return every year, then a hardy perennial like Echinacea purpurea 'Raspberry Truffle' is an excellent choice. Give them a sunny spot and some time, year one is great but after a few more they form quite an impressive clump – that’s more stems to look forward to in the garden plus a few extra to snip and show off in a vase!
