What Does This
Symbol Mean?
Plant Patent #18,684. 'Virgin' is the only white Echinacea you will want for your garden. it combines a very compact habit, double row of petals, sweet fragrance, and long bloomtime into a tidy package that is simply irresistible in garden or vase. Selected by master garden designer Piet Oudolf, it is a masterpiece.

The blooms reach 3 to 5 inches wide, with two rows of long, slender white petals surrounding a deep green cone. Just 20 to 24 inches high in bloom, this plant is ultra-compact, yet it sets dozens of blooms over its long midsummer through fall season. Most enticing is the fragrance -- sweet, summery, and very appealing!

For all 'Virgin's' innovations and merits, it is much like its wildflower cousins. It is tolerant of heat, humidity, drought, cold, and even poor soil, thriving in full sunshine and well-drained soil just about everywhere. Its blooms bring butterflies in summer and songbirds in autumn (they eat the seed-filled cones), and even the bare stalks add nice texture to the early-winter garden. Combine with other Echinacea in garden and container. Zones 3-8.
