Echinacea purpurea 'PowWow White' (15) Quarts
Common Name: Coneflower;
Zones 3 to 8.
Full sun to part shade.
Plants reach 18 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 16 inches wide;
Clumping habit. Growth rate: Moderate.
Pure white flowers with a golden yellow cone flowers from late spring to late summer, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost. 3 to 4 inch flowers keep on blooming without having to be deadheaded. Superior performance includes a basal branching habit, resulting in more flowers per plant.
Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant.
Excellent as a border plant, in mass or containers, as cut flower or foliage, dried flower or seed heads; fragrant flowers attract butterflies. If deadheaded, the bloom cycle will be extended. However, some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide interest in the winter. Deer resistant. |
