basic information
White swan coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) are striking perennials with large, white, daisy-like flowers and prominent coppery-orange centers. In gardens, they attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity. Their bold blooms add elegance to borders, cottage-style plantings, or wildflower meadows, and they make excellent cut flowers for arrangements. They also provide seeds for birds in late season, supporting local wildlife.

How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Coneflower seeds can benefit from a process of stratification. Chill the seeds in the fridge, between a damp paper towel for 3 to 4 weeks. After this step is completed, sow the seeds in CowPots, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Direct sow or transplant entire pots into the garden when temperatures reach 65F or more.
