description for "Coneflowers: Echinacea purpurea 'Cygnet White'"
Everyone loves coneflowers! Well placed as a border plant or in a naturalized setting, 'Cygnet White' is similar to the standard purple coneflower, but it's white. Shorter than 'White Swan', 'Cygnet White' grows to only 20 inches. Deadhead flowers to keep the plant tidy. Freely self sows. Sometimes goldfinches land on seed heads to have a nibble.
