Special Features: White Coneflowers planted in mass are an amazing sight to both the gardener & wildlife. Not only are Coneflowers visually pleasing but they are an important food source to finches. Design wise, although I am a big fan of color, the white blooms are refreshing. Blue Larkspur (annual) used as filler creates a lovely display.
How Difficult To Grow? White Coneflowers are one of those plants that are really easy & fun to start by seed. The plants enjoy full sun but will also do ok in part-shade. Coneflowers are another one of my favorite drought-resistant plants, so be careful growing in wet soil areas since they might be prone to rot.
