PowWow White is a compact coneflower with clean white petals around a gold-orange central cone, blooming through the heat of summer on a plant about 2 feet tall. It branches freely and keeps producing without constant deadheading, drawing bees and butterflies now and finches to the seed later.

Full sun and well-drained soil suit it; once established it is genuinely drought tolerant. Leave some seed heads standing in fall for the birds and for winter texture, then cut it back in late winter. Deer and rabbits usually leave coneflowers alone.
