Comments:
3' tall x 2' wide. This is a white cultivar of the native purple coneflower. One of the finest border plants, with deep green serrated leaves, can act as a pleasing foil for smaller plants. White flower petals radiate downward from a golden central cone that provides seed for goldfinches. Long lasting as a cut flower and attractive to butterflies. Flowers abound in early summer, then continued until frost on this hardy, pest-proof performer.
