The double-flowered Blackberry Truffle eastern purple coneflower belongs to the elite of its species. This magnificent, licensed variety is a garden rarity. Its fluffy pink flowers have darker centres at the beginning and turn more uniform later on. The plant grows 70 to 80 centimetres tall at the peak of the season. The Blackberry Truffle eastern purple coneflower is valued for its long flowering period. Charming flowers appear from the start of the summer to start of autumn at stiff, coarsely haired stems. Coneflower plants can be grown alone and in larger groups. A colourful patch of five to seven plants on one square metre looks amazing. An autumn border on which this exceptional plant grows will be a spectacular late season decoration each year.

Eastern purple coneflower needs a fertile, lime, moderately moist soil yet it tolerates loam soil too. After taking root in the garden, coneflowers become resistant to short drought periods and unfavourable weather conditions. This perennial is hardy and does not require digging out. We recommend removing dried leaves in spring. Tying up of the tall shoots to poles and removing wilted flowers are the most important maintenance measures. The Blackberry Truffle eastern purple coneflower is an imposing perennial that you can plant all season long, though we recommend doing it in spring. You can plant the seedlings both in the garden and in planters equipped with a drainage layer.
