The
'White Swan' Coneflower is summer and fall blooming. White flowers and seed heads make great cut flowers. This Echinacea attracts butterflies in the summer and birds in the winter. Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant. The word "echinacea" comes from the Greek word "echinos" meaning "hedgehog", referring to the flower's spiky central cone.
