Echinacea purpurea White Swan (Coneflower)

Echinacea purpurea 'White Swan' adds a touch of elegance to the borders with its large, sweet honey-scented, pure white flowers, reflexing away from their coppery-brown, spiky central cone. Blooming from early to late summer, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost, this attractive perennial provides a vibrant floral display in the garden. Perfect for perennial borders, prairies, and cottage gardens.

• Grows up to 24-36 in. tall (60-90 cm) and 12-24 in. wide (30-60 cm).
• Thrives in full sun in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerant to drought, heat, and humidity.
• Perfect choice for beds and borders, prairies and meadows, wildflower gardens, or cottage gardens.
• Excellent as cut flowers. If flower heads are not removed in the fall, the blackened cones will be visited by birds that feed on the seeds.
• No serious pest or disease issues. Attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, but deer resistant.
• Remove spent flowers and cut back the stems to encourage further blooms.
• Propagate by division in spring or fall or by root cuttings from late fall to early winter.
