Echinacea, Double Coneflower 'Razzmatazz'

This is my favorite coneflower. I love the petals, and the way that it keeps blooming. The flowers last a long time. I haven't deadhea...Read Moreded any yet this year, because they still look good!

This is a beautiful plant. And yes, the blooms seem to last forever for me too. HOWEVER, when I bought 2 of them late last summer one w...Read Moreas labeled 'Sunset' and the other 'Razzmatazz' with pictures that were much more like a classic echinanea. I did some looking on nursery websites and concluded they were both really 'Double Delight'. In comparing pics here it is hard to tell the difference between Razzmatazz and Double Delight.

A suprisingly hardy flower for one that came out of the cut flower trade. Flowered for the longest of my echinacea this year.

I got one plant at a local nursery early this spring. It was in a 4" pot, and I paid $21.99.

I planted it in my perennial ...Read Moregarden that gets full southern sun all day. It threw up 1 flower for me to see what it looked like (just stunning) and that flower lasted for WEEKS! It currently has about 8-9 flowers on it, and I'll assume that it will get much larger for next year. Mine doesn't currently need staking, but seeing the height of the purple echinacea that I have in that same garden but further down, I can see that it has potential for getting large.

I have saved one seed head, and plan on trying to see what type of plant will result from it.

Got the last 3 remaining plants at Lowe's in fall 2005. They were only marginal in their appearance, didnt expect too much from them. T...Read Morehis spring has been phenomenal! Over 20 flowers so far! My only complaint is that they grow so tall, they need support (over 3 ft). Love them!

I paid $40 each for three medium sized plants in May, they started blooming in July non stop till October. This plant is definatly worth ...Read Morethe wait, not like the overhyped Doppleganger. The blooms look amazing when they open with a green centre that fully matures to a cute pink powder puff. I would have bought more, but very pricey in 2005, I'm sure next year the price will be more reasonable.

I got this Plant this Spring - it only produced about 4 flowers this first year - but they were quite striking. Next year should be a s...Read Morehow stopper display. Looked great in my bed with other Echinacea, Daisies and Gallardia.

I agree with the above comment. I received this plant when it was only a nub of a plant. I kept watering for almost a month before I saw ...Read Moreany signs of life. By the end of September I actually was able to divide this coneflower in half. Beautiful flowers. I am not sure the seeds will replicate its parent.

While a single cone flower opens then over a period of days grows the "cone", the Razzmatazz initially opens with the skirt. Then the dome of petals gradually gets larger and individual petals in the skirt elongates. It's like a new flower every day for a week or more.

After it's matured it remains a showstopper for days and is unfazed by rain.
