50+ White Swan Coneflower Seeds-Echinecea Purpurea Alba-White Echinace Coneflower-Highly Beneficial Perennial-G049
Description:
White Swan Coneflower is simply one of the most beautiful plants for the garden, and they easily establish from Echinacea seeds. Pure white flowers with a golden yellow cone measured 3-4” across with wide, overlapping, reflexed petals. From early through late summer, the flowers are produced prolifically on stiff, well-branched stems. More branches result in more flowers per plant and a showier display in the landscape. 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. It has a wonderful scent that you will love to add to your flower garden. Huge, pure white, wonderfully fragrant blooms burst on top of these hardy native plants that bloom freely over a very long season. This first year flowering perennial reportedly keeps on blooming without having to be deadheaded, though you may still want to trim back spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance.
White Coneflower is a very rewarding perennial to grow with their pure white blooms that are 4 - 5 inches wide, and the center cone which brings in the butterflies and bees. They offer a very long bloom season and blooms that are excellent for cutting as well as drying and preserving. These long-stemmed, bushy plants reach 24 - 30 inches in height and form a rounded clump. The blooms are on very sturdy stems from late spring till the cool temperatures of fall set in.
White Coneflower plants are ideal for a large planting, creating a naturalized woodland or meadow setting. They are also lovely in the perennial flower bed or garden. Echinacea Coneflower is easy to start from flower seed. This flower will bloom the first year and for many years thereafter, lasting through the worst heat and dry weather summer has to offer.
