ECHINACEA White Swan : CONEFLOWER
ECHINACEA White Swan - Coneflower - Medium to Tall 3' - Plant 16" apart. Zone 3-9 Pure white, with high coned centers. Coarse foliage adds good texture. ECWSS
General Information
Remains one of the finest border plants. Coarse deep green 8" leaves are serrated and act as a pleasing foil for smaller plants. Flower petals radiate downward from a pronounced central seed head, which will provide a food source for small birds as it matures. Long lasting as a cut flower, and attractive to butterflies. Flowers abound in early summer, then continue until frost. Plant Care Easy to grow, prolific bloomer. Deadheading will prevent seeding, but birds are crazy about the seeds, and the seedheads are attractive in the winter, especially in the snow. If removing them, leave the foliage at the base of the plant to overwinter. |
