White Coneflower

Echinacea purpurea 'alba'

Comments (3)

Ashley, you have a white and a purple Coneflower which are both Echinaceas. If you look at the top of the flower and it looks like a pincushion in reverse or like you think of a porcupine looking...that's a Coneflower. Daisy flowers have similar looking white petals as a Coneflower, but their centers look more like a puffball or less pointed centers. Also, when the Coneflowers mature, they have a tendency to look like a cone from the side where as most Daisy flowers stay kind of flat. Take heart, they are often confused for each other.

I agree. It's a white variety of Echinacea purpurea.
I think this is a white coneflower not a daisy.
