Echinacea purpurea ‘White Swan’
This is a beautiful white and slightly shorter version of the traditional E. purpurea. Try to get it next to Gypsophilla for an amazing combo when the cone flower rises through a haze of baby’s breath. Plant in full sun in average (not overly rich), well-drained soils. Avoid soils that are overly moist in winter. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
