Coneflower

Like its bright magenta counterpart 'Pow Wow White' has also impressed in our trial garden. It features large pure white flowers with golden yellow cones. The flowers are produced in abundance on stiff well branched stems. It is excellent for cutting and attractive to butterflies.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Coneflowers are the ideal perennial for hot sunny sites.  Plant them in shade and they will flop and produce very few flowers.  Loamy, well drained soil is ideal to produce the best bloom and winter hardiness.  Heavy soils can lead to winter rot. Leave the seed heads to stand for winter food for finches and other birds.
