What sets the White Swan Coneflower apart from other perennial daisies is its large, reliable blooms. Blooms up to 3 to 4 inches in diameter populate this plant in the mid-summer. These blooms put on a show, consistently blooming through September. The dark green foliage at the base, contrasted with bright white blooms will add classic elegance to any garden. 

This versatile bloomer can be planted in a variety of different locations. It is considered a solid container plant, while also sought after for a hardy and reliable landscape flower. It can also be used in a cut flower garden for bouquets. This coneflower is a butterfly magnet, and also attracts songbirds. Deer won’t be an issue with this perennial bloomer.

White Swan Coneflower Care

The White Swan Coneflower loves the sun, and would prefer full sun. However, one can get away with partial sun. Moist, well drained soil is lovely, but this coneflower can also tolerate average amounts of water and drier than normal soil. Supplemental watering may be needed if a long dry stretch is observed, especially if coneflower is planted within a container. 

Spent flower stems can be cut down, which will encourage new blooms. Flower heads can also be left on the plant as a treat to songbirds.

White Swan Coneflower Spacing

These are tall coneflowers, reaching as high as 24 to 36 inches tall. They’re mounding in nature, and should be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart.
