Description

Pow Wow White Coneflower presents stunning, snow-white petals radiating from a golden central cone, delivering a gorgeous burst of midsummer color to the landscape. Its robust blooms offer a polished look, standing above dark green foliage that remains satisfying all season long. Butterflies are drawn to the showy flowers, adding extra interest in sunny borders or mixed plantings. Deer typically steer clear, and this variety also adapts well to containers for a refreshing accent on patios or balconies.

General Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light for the finest flowering.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil; mixing organic matter into heavier soils can improve moisture management.
• Watering: Provide regular watering during the first growing season to establish strong roots. Once mature, it tolerates occasional dry spells but benefits from consistent moisture in periods of extended heat.
• Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps maintain even soil temperatures and moisture levels; keep mulch slightly away from stems.
• Pruning: Remove spent blooms to promote continual flowering. Cut back in late fall or early spring for a grand, tidy start to the new season.

Pow Wow White Coneflower delivers a fresh and inspiring display in Michigan landscapes, creating a standout statement with its lovely white petals and upright presence year after year.
