Description
The Feeling White variety of Echinacea purpurea is appreciated for its floriferousness and its compact habit. Throughout the summer, it is covered with numerous, white flower heads with an orange centre. They are beautiful in fresh or dried bouquets and they also attract pollinating insects. They are vigorous and easy to grow in the sun and well-drained soil and easy to sow. This perennial has a stunning effect in borders or in pots on a balcony or terrace.
From the Asteraceae family, Echinacea purpurea is a herbaceous perennial endemic to North America. It grows in the dry prairies of the eastern United States or in sparsely wooded areas, heathlands, or cultivated land. Rudbeckia 'Feeling White' is a small variety that forms a dense clump about 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide. From June to September, it produces numerous 6 to 7 cm diameter flower heads. Their petals are white and slightly drooping, with a rounded brown-orange centre. Its deciduous leaves are dark green and its stems are hairy.
The very floriferous 'Feeling White' variety is ideal in containers due to its small size. In the garden, place it in the sun, ideally in moist and well-drained soil, although it tolerates drought quite well. It is also cold-resistant. Echinacea purpurea 'Feeling White' is an undemanding plant that will find its place in all styles of gardens. Here are some ideas for successful combinations to try in your garden: grass Stipa capillata for a naturalistic atmosphere, phlox paniculata Fujiyama for an all-white border, or Echinacea Butterfly Kisses and David Austin Mary Rose for a romantic composition.

Planting and care
Sow the seeds of Echinacea 'Feeling White' indoors from March to May, in seed trays filled with a seed compost, maintained at 20-25°C after soaking in warm water until they swell. This promotes germination, which can take between 5 and 20 days depending on the conditions. Do not cover the seeds too much as they need light to germinate. When your plants have 4 leaves, transplant them into pots. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days. Then, when your plants are large enough to handle and when all risk of frost has passed, plant them in the sun in moist,, well-drained soil, in pots or in a flower bed, with 20 cm between each plant.
You can also sow directly in place, from May to July (daytime temperatures of at least 20°C), in well-prepared soil. Thin out the sowing to leave only one plant every 20 cm, in full sun.
This is an easy perennial plant that requires no special care and is very resistant to pests and diseases. Only snails and slugs threaten its young leaves in spring. Remove faded flowers as they appear. You can keep the last few, which will dry in situ and provide a decorative touch during winter. Every year, before the vegetation resumes in spring, clean the clump.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
