Pollinator Friendly

Introduced in 2014, Echinacea 'Meditation White' has a dense, compact form and is exceptionally free-flowering. Slightly reflexed white petals surround a jaunty golden-yellow cone that is a firm favourite with pollinators. The flowerheads also make a fantastic cut flower — and still look good after the petals have fallen.

Unlike most Echinacea, this one tolerates partial shade and slightly heavier soils, making it suitable for a wider range of conditions. Like all coneflowers it dislikes excessive winter wet, so plant in reasonably free-draining soil. Easy to grow and drought-tolerant once established.

Cut old stems to the base once flowering is over to encourage new growth. At the end of the season, leave remaining heads in place to provide winter nourishment for the birds. Perfect for containers, beds and borders, courtyard and patio displays, and wildlife gardens.

Plant Notes

  • Care Guide

    Plant in full sun in well-drained, reasonably fertile soil. Space generously — Echinacea dislikes overcrowding and resents competition from neighbours. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and largely trouble-free. Deadhead regularly throughout the growing season to encourage further flowers. Leave the final seed heads of the season standing through winter; they provide architectural interest and are a valuable food source for birds. Cut back to 5cm from ground level in late winter as new growth appears. Divide approximately every four years in autumn or spring, but leave undisturbed while the plant looks healthy and vigorous.

  • Good to Know

    Wildlife-friendly — the flowers are a rich nectar source for bees and butterflies, and the seed heads attract goldfinches and other seed-eating birds through autumn and winter.

    Long-lived and rewarding once established in the right conditions — good drainage and full sun are key.

    Some varieties are lightly scented — worth seeking out on a warm day.
