CONEFLOWER 'WHITE SWAN'
Echinacea
SKU: 674-5
Description
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: Traditionally prefers full-sun locations, though we have plants in mostly-shady locations and they still bloom and do well.
Seeds per pack: 5
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. These seeds require a period of cold. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 2 weeks. They will not grow yet. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
