Echinacea 'White Swan'
White Coneflower
A coneflower with bold, white blooms, with centres that gradually change from green-white and flat to orange and cone-shaped surrounded by a striking whirl of white petals. Ideal for pollinators. Deadheading will encourage more flowers. Better still, cut flowers while young and they will last over a week in a vase. At the end of the season, leave some seedheads in autumn and the birds will flock to the seed.
