Echinacea
CONEFLOWER 'PRIMADONNA WHITE'
SKU: 1577-003
From June to September, fabulous these large white flowers with orange-brown centres appear on stiff stems. This white coneflower is shorter than many other varieties, making it a valuable addition to the middle of a border. Easy to grow and long-flowering, and will cope well with adverse weather conditions. Attractive to bees and butterflies, and birds will enjoy the seed heads.
This is a mid-sized Coneflower. We also offer 'White Swan' Coneflower which is a taller echinacea.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Height: 60-80cm, 24-32"
Location: Sun or part shade. Will tolerate a substantial amount of shade.
Seeds per packet: 3
Germination: Start indoors. Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
