Pow Wow White Coneflower
Echinacea purpurea 'PAS702918'
Pow Wow White Coneflower is a great choice when you want the easy-care toughness of Echinacea in a clean white flower form. The white petals and golden cones brighten sunny borders, and the compact habit makes it easy to use in containers, smaller beds, and mass plantings. I especially like it with blue catmint, purple salvia, yellow coreopsis, black-eyed Susans, and ornamental grasses, where the white flowers can cool down hot colors and tie the whole planting together.

Pure White Blooms for Sunny Pollinator Gardens
Clean white flowers with golden cones.
Pow Wow White Coneflower produces bright white, daisy-like Echinacea flowers with golden-yellow to yellow-brown central cones, creating a crisp and cheerful look in sunny gardens. The wide white petals surround the raised cone in classic coneflower form, making each bloom easy to see from a distance and easy to blend with surrounding perennials. This is a great choice for homeowners who want the toughness of Echinacea with a lighter, cleaner flower color than traditional purple or red coneflowers.
Compact growth with heavy flowering.
Echinacea Pow Wow White is known for its compact, well-branched habit and strong flower production. It fits beautifully into smaller gardens, front-to-middle borders, containers, and mixed perennial beds without feeling oversized or floppy. The sturdy stems help support the blooms, while the green foliage keeps the plant looking full and polished through the growing season. Use it with salvia, catmint, coreopsis, yarrow, black-eyed Susans, bee balm, Russian sage, lavender, and ornamental grasses for a sunny planting with color, texture, and movement.
Pollinator-friendly flowers from summer into fall.
Pow Wow White Coneflower attracts butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators during its long bloom season. Its open cone-shaped flowers are easy for pollinators to access, while the bright white petals make the plant especially noticeable in mixed borders and moon garden-style plantings. After bloom, leaving some seed heads standing can add winter texture and provide food for birds, especially finches.
Tough, drought-tolerant, and deer-resistant.
Once established, Pow Wow White Echinacea is a low-maintenance perennial that handles full sun, heat, dry weather, and average garden soils well. It performs best in well-drained soil and does not need heavy fertilizer or constant watering to look good. It is also considered deer resistant in many landscapes, making it a practical choice for homeowners who want bright, full-sun flowers with better-than-average browsing resistance.
Excellent for borders, containers, and cut flowers.
Use Pow Wow White Coneflower in sunny borders, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, prairie-style plantings, white gardens, moon gardens, and patio containers, where its clean white flowers can brighten the planting. The blooms are excellent for fresh-cut arrangements and pair easily with both warm and cool flower colors. Deadheading can encourage a cleaner look and additional bloom, while leaving some late-season cones supports birds and adds natural winter interest.

How should I plant Pow Wow White Coneflower?
Plant Pow Wow White Coneflower in full sun with well-drained soil. Choose a site that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, because strong light supports better flowering, sturdier stems, and a fuller plant habit. Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball and set the crown level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, water deeply, and space plants about 15 to 18 inches apart for a fuller display or slightly wider if mixing with other perennials.

How often should I water Pow Wow White Coneflower after planting?
Water Pow Wow White Coneflower regularly during the first growing season while the roots establish. Keep the soil evenly moist after planting, but avoid soggy conditions because Echinacea performs best in well-drained soil. Once established, Pow Wow White Coneflower becomes drought-tolerant and usually needs less supplemental water than many flowering perennials. During extended heat or drought, water deeply as needed, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

When should I fertilize Pow Wow White Coneflower?
Fertilize Pow Wow White Coneflower lightly in spring with compost or a balanced, slow-release fertilizer if your soil is poor. In most garden beds, Echinacea performs well without heavy feeding. Avoid excessive fertilizer, especially high-nitrogen fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers or make stems less sturdy. Full sun, good drainage, and moderate fertility are usually the best combination for strong performance.
When and how should I prune Pow Wow White Coneflower?
Prune Pow Wow White Coneflower by deadheading spent blooms during the growing season if you want a tidier look or want to encourage additional flowers. Cut spent flower stems back to a lower leaf or side shoot. Later in the season, leave some seed heads standing if you want winter interest and bird value. Cut the plant back in late fall after frost or in early spring before new growth begins.
