Kismet® Raspberry Coneflower

Kismet® Raspberry Coneflower carries raspberry-pink flowers above green foliage on a compact, upright plant. Monrovia lists it at about 18 inches tall and 24 inches wide, with blooms from summer into fall through the first frost. It grows in full sun in USDA Zones 4–9 and suits borders, containers, and cutting gardens. The flowers attract pollinators, and established plants tolerate mild drought. ## Garden Use Use this long-blooming selection in sunny mixed borders, grouped plantings, or containers. Its raspberry-colored flowers add a saturated accent while the compact habit fits the front or middle of a perennial bed. The blooms can also be cut for arrangements. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the root zone evenly moist during establishment; once established, the plant tolerates mild drought. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to encourage continued bloom and keep the plant tidy. Divide crowded clumps as needed. Sources: [Monrovia](https://www.monrovia.com/kismet-raspberry-coneflower.html) · [US Plant Patent PP28768](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP28768P2/en)
