Notes
'Raspberry Truffle' coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Raspberry Truffle') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. The coral pink petals surround a raspberry center and a brown cone, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Standing Ovation little bluestem, Moonshine yarrow, and Nodding onion.
