Echinacea 'Raspberry Beret' | Coneflower

Echinacea 'Raspberry Beret' is a double-flowered coneflower with ruffled, raspberry-pink blooms that bloom from summer through fall. This hardy perennial thrives in full sun, tolerates poor soil and drought, and requires minimal maintenance. Butterflies and pollinators love the nectar-rich flowers, making it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and cutting arrangements.

Vivid Color and Distinctive Double Blooms

'Raspberry Beret' coneflower produces fully double, raspberry-pink blooms from early summer through fall. The layered petals and tufted centers create exceptional texture, while sturdy stems resist flopping. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are drawn to the nectar-rich flowers, making it a pollinator magnet for any garden.

Compact, Upright Growth Habit

This variety stands out not only for its beauty but also for its perfectly balanced form. 'Raspberry Beret' grows to a tidy height of about 18 to 22 inches and spreads 16 to 20 inches wide, making it ideal for sunny borders, mixed cottage gardens, or decorative containers. Its upright, well-branched habit ensures a dense flush of flowers from top to bottom, creating an extended season of color that pairs effortlessly with ornamental grasses, salvia, or Rudbeckia.

This improved habit also means easy design flexibility: cluster several together for bold sweeps of color, or place one or two near the front of flower beds for a focal point that blooms for months.

Exceptional Performance with Minimal Effort

One reason Echinacea remains a favorite among gardeners of all experience levels is its incredible resilience. 'Raspberry Beret', like others in its collection, thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soils—from average garden loam to moderately dry areas—making it suited to both landscapes and low-maintenance environments. Once established, it’s drought tolerant and deer resistant, requiring little more than occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.

For best performance:

• Plant in well-drained soil that receives at least six hours of direct sun daily.

• Water regularly during the first growing season to encourage a deep root system.

• Deadhead spent blooms to promote continued flowering, or leave the seed heads for winter interest and to feed visiting songbirds.

• In late fall or early spring, trim old stems back to ground level to allow fresh new growth to emerge.
