White Swan Coneflower

The lovely White Swan is a bit more diminutive than other Coneflowers.  

This classic white Echinacea is daisy like with drooping petals and a contrasting coppery brown cone spike in its center.  Clump forming foliage is tidy, toothed and dark green.   
 
You will still enjoy the White Swan after other perennials have ceased to bloom.  A long blooming period, from midsummer to fall, is just one more reason to love this fantastic flower!  

Seed heads are quite architectural in form and provide continued visual interest in winter.
 
White Swan produces a heady, honey like fragrance, and bees will be falling all over themselves to get next to this garden favorite.  Birds love the seeds in winter and butterflies are also big fans.
 
The Coneflower is an invaluable addition to the perennial border and a must in the cottage or country garden.  Also makes a statement in mass plantings of 5 or more.  

Try combining with other Coneflowers such as the Ruby Star Coneflower, for eye popping color and visual impact.
