PowWow White Coneflower

PowWow White Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'PowWow White')

PowWow White Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'PowWow White') is a compact, heavy blooming selection that blankets itself in crisp white daisies with golden cones from early summer into fall. Bred for strong first year flowering, sturdy stems, and tidy size, it delivers reliable, long lasting color in sunny beds, borders, and containers.

Distinctive Features

Large, flat to slightly reflexed white petals surround prominent amber cones on well branched plants that resist flopping in wind and heat. Continuous bud set keeps flowers coming for months, and spent cones add texture and natural bird seed late season.

Growing Conditions

• Sun Exposure: Full sun for best bloom; tolerates light afternoon shade in hot climates.
• Soil: Well drained garden soil; adapts to loam, sandy, or lightly rocky sites.
• Water: Moderate; water to establish, then allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings.
• USDA Hardiness Zones: 3 to 9.
• Mature Size: Typically 16 to 24 inches tall and 14 to 20 inches wide.

Ideal Uses
