Common Name: Meringue Coneflower
Distinctively characterized by its impressive double white flowers surrounded with creamy yellow pom-pom center on sturdy, robust stems from late spring through late summer. Very showy and attracts butterflies and birds. Grows moderately with high of 24 inches and spread to 18 inches wide in upright, clump-forming growth habit. Best grown in full sun but tolerates partial shade in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Echinacea 'Meringue' is best for container, border and cut flower.
