Echinacea purpurea Razzmatazz
Purple Coneflower, Eastern Purple Coneflower
Very well packaged young plant, not dried out upon arrival, with sufficient foliage and beautiful root system for my autumn planting. Hopefully, the winter won't be too harsh, but I will pamper it with some straw.

Description
Echinacea purpura 'Razzmatazz' is a variety sought-after for its tall stature and unusual flowers, with large double-headed prominent cones, surrounded by trailing petals in a candy pink gradient. It blooms from mid-summer to autumn, filling the air with a honey-like fragrance. It is a lush and generous perennial that doesn't go unnoticed and deserves a prime spot in sunny flower beds. It is ideal for cutting or drying.
Originally from the western United States, Rudbeckia purpurea is a strong-willed perennial that readily colonizes rocky prairies, savannahs, clear undergrowth, and road edges in its natural habitat. 'Razzmatazz' is an astonishing cultivar derived from this formidable pioneer. It was one of the first hybrids with a highly accentuated doubling in the central disc. It has a lush clumping habit, reaching a minimum height of 100 cm (39in) and a width of 60 cm (24in). Its sturdy stems show good resistance. The green leaves are bristly with rough hairs. The nectar-rich and fragrant flowering occurs from July to the end of summer, with inulas, asters, and ornamental tobacco plants, and is loved by butterflies. The branched flower stalks each end in a large solitary inflorescence with a diameter of 8cm (3in), with a prominent central disc, giving the heart of the flower the appearance of a fluffed-up pompom made up of tiny florets in a fresh pink shade. Around the disc, the pink ligules are rather short and strongly recurved. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil with its highly developed root system.
Rudbeckia 'Razzmatazz' offers a very vibrant flowering, lovely on slightly misty autumn days. It is used in mixed borders with other pink flowers whose shapes contrast (shrubby salvias, dwarf gladioli, daylilies, carnations). Lighten the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia, Muhlenbergia capillaris...Splendid in flower beds, the beautiful colour of 'Razzmatazz' is also very attractive in fresh or dried flower bouquets.
The fragrance of the Echinacea varies depending on the flowering stage. Initially, when the florets are in an upright crown, the scent is barely perceptible. At full bloom, when the florets droop as if drained of their strength, it emits a delicate honey scent, attractive to bees, butterflies, and other insects. Once the head is pollinated, the fragrance takes on a more vanilla note.
Properties : In homoeopathy, its root is used to fight against colds and strengthen the immune system. These properties were first used by Native Americans.

Planting and care
Echinacea 'Razzmatazz' takes time to establish; its growth is rather slow. However, once in place it requires no special care and is highly resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mix of potting soil and garden soil. Coneflowers dislike soils waterlogged in winter. The soil should be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Remove faded flowers regularly. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew, so divide the clump when flowering slows down. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture in summer, as it is sensitive to drought during flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
