White Swan Echinacea
Perennial Cultivation: Plant Echinacea White Swan in full sun in fertile well drained soil. Echinacea tolerates most soil types and drought well. Space new container grown plants 24" apart. Echinacea can be a prolific self seeder. 

Cut back spent flower stems to promote re-flowering and to prevent the plant from spreading. Echinacea White Swan's large  flowers attract butterflies and are excellent for cutting.

Propagation:
Seed can be sown directly in the ground once soil temperature has reached 55 degrees. For faster growth purchase pre-started Echinacea plants at your local Garden Center. Once established Echinacea White Swan is easy to divide in the spring.

Potential pests ~ diseases:
Rare.
