Echinacea (Coneflower)
Color Name: The Price is White
The Price is White Echinacea displays snowy-white petals surrounding tall gold-tinted cones. The daisy-like flowers glow against the dark green foliage. This pollinator magnet features large 5" wide flowers, excellent basal branching and horizontally held petals. Partners well with Rudbeckia. The cut flowers make long lasting bouquets.
Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.
Growing Tips: 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. If properly cared for, they will form attractive colonies and will live for many years.
