Notes

'White Mist' coneflower (Echinacea 'White Mist') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. White petals surround a yellow center cone from early to late summer. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the fragrant blooms.

Pairs well with Pyrethrum, Nodding onion, Sedge, and Virginia rose.
