Purple Echinacea Coneflower 'Raspberry Truffle' is a small-growing perennial with an abundance of huge, salmon-pink double flowers that are 4 inches (10 cm) across and have drooping deep salmon ray petals that surround a darker raspberry pink pom-pom center that is clutching a chocolate center cone. The eye-catching blooms, which bloom in the early summer and early fall, are carried on short, strong, chocolate stalks. This little coneflower is ideal for perennial borders, tiny gardens, and patio containers. Wonderful as a cut flower.
