Echinacea White Swan Seeds

Echinacea purpurea

Item #1220

Perennial. ‘White Swan’ is the perfect name for this graceful echinacea. It is a natural selection from white-flowered variations of the native, purple echinacea. Its flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators, while birds enjoy the seeds. The cone-like seed heads also add a nice architectural touch to the winter garden. A long-lasting cut flower, it adds a sparkle of white to floral arrangements. Drought tolerant. Perennial in USDA zones 3–8. Deer resistant.
