White Swan Coneflower

White Swan Coneflower
Botanical Name: Echinacea purpurea 'White Swan'
Category: Sun Perennials
Height: 24-36"
Spread: 12-18" +
Exposure: Sun
Care: Cut to ground in late Fall or early Spring before new growth begins. If you leave the flower stalks standing over the winter, goldfinches will feed on the seedheads. Deadhead to encourage rebloom and tidy plantings
Deer Resistant: N
Description: Cheerful white daisies combine well with just about anything. Slightly shorter than 'Magnus Purple Coneflower', but taller than 'Kim's Knee High Purple Coneflower' they are striking planted together. The flowers are large (about 2-3" across) with slightly recurved petals surrounding a dark central cone. Plants thrive in average soils and hot, dry conditions; they also shrug off winter cold. The cone at the heart of the flower turns black as the seeds mature, adding further interest and providing nourishment for goldfinches over the winter. All Echinaceas make excellent cut flowers.
