I've had good experiences with two of the site's sponsors, Nirvana Seeds, and Herbies Head Shop... You might want to check them out.

I don't have any personal experience with it. I know it's a purple strain. I found this on one of the strain guides:

Razzmatazz - Indica Dominant

The Razzmatazz is advertised as "the world's first fully double Echinacea," it is truly and wildly different from any other cultivar of Echinacea Purpurea ever seen. The flowers begin mainly as nearly-normal looking singles, the shorter than average flower petals being extra-reflexed around the dark cone. As the cone further matures, it develops small purple flower petals of its own, until it is a dense and purple.

It is just great luck that this cultivar was saved. The initial grower in the Netherlands, Jan van Winsen who discovered this sport among seedling coneflowers, was a specialist in annuals and cut flowers. He began developing a crop of the very first specimens of "Razzmatazz" in 1997, but by 2001 had not successfully marketed this unusual sport in his corner of the flower industry, which was focused on cut flowers. Convinced there was insufficient interest in it, Jan was on the verge of composting the entire crop. Jan had mentioned his plan to his friend, Marco van Noort while they were row-boating together.

Marco immediately realized the double-Echinacea was a fantastic new breakthrough for the species. He took over Jan's stocks and 'Razzmatazz' was saved from instant extinction. It would in a few short years give rise to further cultivars with similarly distinct form, so would not remain the only variety of its general type; but it's not apt to be displaced, as it is its own perfection for beauty and hardiness.

When the perennial market learned of this flower's existence, the wild enthusiasm induced the fast-track to get this plant to market. In 2004 it was exhibited in a London flower show with policemen guarding the plants against the too eager sticky fingers of the public. One year later it was reaching the better independent nurseries in the United States, though stocks were such that seriously inflated prices were being asked. The patient gardener would get them cheaper by waiting a couple years.

'Razzmatazz' has a mild fragrance. It flowers from July to September or until the first hard frost. It grows thirty inches to three feet tall. As with other purple coneflowers, it wants full sun, is fairly drought hardy and is an easy perennial for zones 4 through 8. They are long-lasting as cut flowers, but vastly more longlasting left on the clump.

Coneflowers sometimes make a feeble effort to keep blooming right into our mild winters but won't be able to finish the process, so young specimens in particular should have any post-September or winter flower stems cut back, in order to encourage only root development for the first couple of years, and to insure healthy regrowth the following spring.
