White Cultivar
Powwow White Coneflower is a compact, frost-hardy cultivar of Echinacea purpurea that brings clean, elegant blooms to summer and fall gardens without demanding fussy care. Growing just 18 to 24 inches tall, it fits seamlessly into borders, containers, or pollinator gardens across zones 3 through 3, thriving in full sun with moderate water. The white flowers bloom reliably from June through November, attracting bees and butterflies while shrugging off both deer and drought once established.

This dwarf coneflower delivers big garden impact in a compact footprint. Its clean white blooms stand out against green foliage for nearly half the year, and the plant handles cold winters, hot summers, and poor soil with equal grace. Deer leave it alone, drought doesn't faze it, and it attracts pollinators without needing a shred of hand-holding once it settles in.
Powwow White Coneflower serves as a pollinator magnet in gardens designed to support bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Its compact size and long bloom window make it well-suited for mixed borders, cutting gardens where fresh flowers are desired throughout the growing season, and container plantings where space is limited but visual impact matters.
Sow seeds indoors in late winter at temperatures between 60 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Sow at a depth of 1/8 inch and expect sprouts in 14 to 21 days. For better germination rates, provide an initial moist stratification period at 40 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 4 weeks before sowing, though this is optional.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when soil has warmed. Ensure plants are hardened off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over several days before planting.
Direct sow seeds in earliest spring or in late summer to fall. Sow at a depth of 1/8 inch and keep soil consistently moist until germination occurs.
