About this plant
Echinacea KISMET® 'White' is a compact perennial with large, pure white daisy-like blooms and prominent golden-green central cones. These luminous flowers begin appearing in summer and continue through to frost, offering a long-lasting display. The petals gently curve downward, drawing attention to the raised cone at the center, creating a beautiful contrast of color and form.
Echinacea KISMET® 'White' attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators throughout its blooming season. Its sturdy, upright habit makes it a versatile choice for perennial borders, cottage gardens, and patio containers. Additionally, the blooms are well-suited for both fresh and dried floral arrangements, adding a natural charm indoors as well.

Design tip
Fall bloom is its strength, and it earns a place near a path or seating area used late in the year. In full sun it holds its shape best, and grouping several together keeps the color strong enough to be seen from across the garden.
