Echinacea pallida ‘Hula Dancer’
Echinacea pallida 'Hula Dancer' has slender, reflexed, white or pink ray florets around reddish-brown cones.
Echinacea pallida ‘Hula Dancer’ is a unique and whimsical coneflower. This species is sturdy and unbranched with slender lance-shaped leaves. Flowers rise up on single stems with delightfully slender, drooping rays of white and blush-pink that gently sway in the breeze like the hula dancer around green to reddish cones. Grows 24-36 inches high. Great for the wildlife, prairie or meadow garden and as cut flowers. Drought tolerant. Provide excellent winter drainage in poor soils. Pollinator and bird attractor. Deer resistant.
