description for "Coneflowers: Echinacea purpurea 'White Swan'"
'White Swan' is a profuse bloomer that is very under-utilized. The flowers have white reflexing petals surrounding a stunning golden cone. Surround 'White Swan' with Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue' for another one-two punch of long lasting color and butterflies. Provide full sun and adequate drainage. Shady locations and overfertilization can result in long, weak, leggy growth. Blooms sporadically from summer through frost. Excellent cut flower for arrangements. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
