KISMET® is an American coneflower series bred by my favourite breeder Harini Horlipara in Terra Nova Nursery in Canby, Oregon. They comprise strong-growing and abundantly flowering varieties of glowing colours, extended bloom time and shorter stems. KISMET® RASPBERRY is protected by US patent PP28768 from 2017.
KISMET® RASPBERRY coneflower makes exquisite raspberry red flowers atop about 40 cm tall, strong stems. They are large, up to 12 cm across, single, and strongly and sweetly scented. Their perfume is released by about 4 p.m. The central discs are deep orange-brown, cone-like, and hide plenty of nectar for butterflies, bumble bees as well as bees. KISMET® RASPBERRY is an early variety and blooms from July (CE climate) until the last sunny and warm days of early autumn. Leaves are broadly lanceolate, medium green.
The plant is usually trouble-free and resistant, just be careful if slugs are present in your garden. Since coneflowers emerge quite late, often when slugs are already in their lethal strength, they could gobble up newly emerging foliage totally and thus destroy the plant before it even comes out.
Coneflower will tolerate almost any soil type but boggy. It loves full sun. It is suitable for mixed borders with perennials or can be used as a flowering feature among low shrubs and conifers and looks lovely when planted in a mass in a container on patios and balconies. Fully hardy to min -34 °C (USDA zone 4).
