The Feeling White variety of Echinacea purpurea is appreciated for its floriferousness and its compact habit. Throughout the summer, it is covered with numerous, white flower heads with an orange centre. They are beautiful in fresh or dried bouquets and they also attract pollinating insects. They are vigorous and easy to grow in the sun and well-drained soil and easy to sow. This perennial has a stunning effect in borders or in pots on a balcony or terrace.

From the Asteraceae family, Echinacea purpurea is a herbaceous perennial endemic to North America. It grows in the dry prairies of the eastern United States or in sparsely wooded areas, heathlands, or cultivated land.

Their petals are white and slightly drooping, with a rounded brown-orange centre. Its deciduous leaves are dark green and its stems are hairy.

The very floriferous 'Feeling White' variety is ideal in containers due to its small size.

Echinacea purpurea 'Feeling White' is an undemanding plant that will find its place in all styles of gardens.
