Echinacea
CONEFLOWER 'WHITE SWAN'
SKU: 674-5
This is an extremely popular perennial plant for good reason. Strong stems produce a multitude of white flowers over many weeks from summer through fall. Plants are disease and drought resistant, and are a favorite of butterflies and other pollinators! Plants form mature thick clumps that can be split (if desired) and used around other areas of the garden.
This is a tall Coneflower. We also offer 'Primadonna White' Coneflower which is a more mid-sized echinacea.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Height: 48", 120cm
Location: Sun or part shade. Will tolerate a substantial amount of shade.
Seeds per packet: 5
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.
