Scientific Name:
Echinacea purpurea 'White Swan'

Family:
White Swan Purple Coneflower

Family:
Asteraceae (or Compositae)

Description:
The white-flowering cultivars of Purple Coneflower, while less vigorous and less cold hardy than the regular lavendar-pink selections, are stunning when in flower, and can be combined with Shasta Daisies in the landscape for a prolonged season of white-flowering ornamental appeal as well as a source of white long-stemmed cutflowers.
