Echinacea purpurea 'White Swan'

| Much-loved by butterflies and other pollinating insects, the white version of this dynamic plant produces clumps of dark-green, rather hairy leaves from which large, daisies with rather lax, white petals and brown, conical central discs grow, on tall, straight stems. Echinacea prefers full sun, but will tolerate part-shade. Echinacea is said to have immune-system boosting properties and is often used to treat coughs and colds. Should come true, but other exhinaceas are grown in the garden, so there may be some cross-pollination. | ||||||||||||
| Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
| Sow thinly 6mm deep in moist compost, transplanting seedlings into individual pots when large enough to handle. This should be done very gently, because echinacea resent disturbance. Alternatively sow individually in modules or cells. Grow on until young plants are large enough to move to their final planting positions. |
