50 Seeds Kismet Raspberry Coneflower Echinacea purpurea Perennial Flower Deep Pink

Start your own vibrant display with these 50 Kismet Raspberry Coneflower seeds (Echinacea purpurea). This award-winning perennial is loved for its large, downward-facing petals in a rich raspberry red with a prominent orange-brown cone. Blooming from early summer to fall, it adds reliable color and texture to sunny borders, cottage gardens, and wildflower meadows. The vigorous plants form bushy clumps that attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators throughout the season.

These coneflowers are excellent for cutting, bringing long-lasting blooms to vases and indoor arrangements. They also work beautifully as background plants in perennial borders or as naturalized drifts in low-maintenance landscapes. Once established, they are exceptionally drought-tolerant and easy to grow in ordinary, well-drained soil. They self-seed gently, allowing for future generations of plants, and provide an important nectar source late in the growing season.
