Kismet® Raspberry is sure to dazzle with the sheer amount of brilliant raspberry-pink flowers that arise during summer and fall. The masses of flowers feature lovely golden bracts, surrounded by bright pink petals that are cupped ever so slightly- revealing contrasting white undersides. A compact grower and favorite of pollinators, this coneflower is well suited to the middle of the border, or anywhere else its long summer blooming period can be appreciated.

Care
Watering:
Kismet® Raspberry Coneflower is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering, to maintain soil in a moist but not wet condition, during the summer months.
Fertilizing:
Kismet® Raspberry Coneflower is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.
Pruning:
Kismet® Raspberry Coneflower should be enjoyed all winter long, then, during early April before it begins to grow again, it should be pruned or mowed back to ground level.
