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!

Other information

Soak the Echinacea 'Raspberry Truffle' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Coneflower" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
