Echinacea purpurea 'PowWow White' (purple coneflower)

NEW CULTIVAR OFFERING - description coming soon!

Purple coneflower is native to parts of eastern North America and present in the wild to some extent more broadly. Its habitats include dry open woods, prairies, and barrens. The flowers attract many kinds of bees, including bumblebees, sweat bees, honey bees, the sunflower leafcutter bee, and the mining bee. Butterfly visitors include monarchs, swallowtails, and sulphur butterflies. Birds, particularly finches, eat the seeds and disperse them through their droppings. Slugs and rabbits will also eat the newly emerged foliage.
