Echinacea purpurea 'White Swan'
Common Name: White Swan Coneflower
Echinacea purpurea ‘White Swan’ — commonly called White Swan Coneflower — is a long-blooming perennial valued for its large, clean white flowers with slightly drooping petals and prominent golden-orange cones, appearing from early summer into fall. Dark green, slightly coarse foliage forms a sturdy clump and remains attractive through the season, sometimes developing muted tones in fall. Its upright, well-branched habit and bright, classic color make it an excellent choice for borders and pollinator plantings.
