Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Plant in full sun for at least six to eight hours each day. While it tolerates light afternoon shade in very hot climates, maximum sun exposure ensures the strongest stems and the highest volume of crisp white blooms.
Soil: These hardy perennials prefer lean to average soil that drains quickly. If you have heavy clay, mix in some organic compost or plant in a raised mound to prevent the roots from sitting in soggy "wet feet" during the winter.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water deeply twice a week to help the root system reach deep into the soil. Once established, PowWow® White is remarkably drought tolerant and only needs supplemental water during extended dry spells. Inconsistent watering during the budding stage can lead to smaller flowers or premature petal drop, so keep the soil moisture even until the blooms open.

Pruning Tips

This variety blooms on new wood, so you should cut the spent flower stalks back to the highest set of leaves to encourage a second flush of white petals. In late winter or very early spring, cut the entire plant back to about three inches above the ground to make way for fresh growth. Think of this annual "haircut" as a way to remove old debris and prevent any lingering fungal spores from affecting the new foliage.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer once in early spring as the new green shoots first emerge from the soil. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this stimulates soft, leafy growth that is easily damaged by the first frost. A light layer of compost applied around the base of the plant each spring provides all the additional nutrients this native cultivar needs to thrive.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

These hardy plants perform beautifully all across the United States and support the nectar needs of butterflies. They'll have plenty of blooms to feast from!

This special variety starts blooming faster than others, but stays shorter. Try them as an icy complement to your mid-summer and fall garden. You will be cutting as many as can to bring inside for cunning little cut flower arrangements! Don't worry, they will be constantly replaced with more shining white flowers.

Planting and Application:

Use these elegantly cheerful perennials as a wonderful foil for other colors! Try them behind colorful blooming groundcovers at the edge of your border. Try them in large exterior containers, too. Use them as a single species, or add "Spillers" to the edges of your container to soften the look.

Or, boost the look of silvery Evergreens or Ornamental Grasses with a long foreground filled with PowWow® White. They stay compact enough for the front of the landscaping bed and can be a beautiful facer plant to leggy shrubs with bare stems!

They look great in all-white Moon Gardens, too. Add to a restful palette and enjoy the respite. Their rugged form contrasts well with the rounded flower heads of Annabelle Hydrangea. For a festive prairie-style planting, add Black Eyed Susans and PowWow® Wild Berry Coneflowers. The pure white flower petals will set off the hot colors of the other flower heads like no other.

Use them as a cheerful mass planting. Space these herbaceous perennials 12 inches apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.

Tolerating harsh locations in the sun, handling poor soil, and periodic drought, making them fantastic in the hell-strip along the road or sidewalk, in Rock Gardens, or in a Xeric garden with Prairie Grasses and other prairie wildflowers. Include them in your Fire-Wise landscaping plan!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Give them full sun, well-drained soil, and a moderate amount of water for the very best blooms. They are very forgiving and might be a perfect plant for a new homeowner just getting started as a gardener. This delightful, sun-loving plant is winter-hardy, heat and drought-tolerant, and easy to grow!

If you've left your herbaceous perennials plantings to stand over the winter, just cut the stalks to an inch above ground level in early spring. Keep the flowers deadheaded to greatly increase the flowering. Other than that, PowWow® White Coneflowers are almost maintenance-free. Echinacea is a native species that does well in most of the country with very little care, and these cultivars are just as easy to grow.

How tall and wide does PowWow® White Coneflower grow at maturity?

Plant in full sun to partial shade for best blooming performance from mid-summer through fall.

How often should I water my newly planted PowWow® White Coneflower?

Water newly planted PowWow® White Coneflower daily for the first week, then reduce to 2-3 times weekly until established. These hardy natives (zones 3-9) are drought tolerant once their roots settle in. Check soil moisture by inserting your finger 2 inches deep before watering.

How fast does PowWow® White Coneflower grow from planting to mature size?

PowWow® White Coneflower blooms from mid-summer through fall, with this variety starting to flower faster than other coneflowers. The thick, well-formed flowers have excellent longevity and are constantly replaced throughout the season. Cut freely for indoor arrangements as more blooms will quickly follow.

Is PowWow® White Coneflower deer resistant?

PowWow® White Coneflower is naturally deer resistant, as most Echinacea varieties are unpalatable to deer due to their coarse texture and strong scent. This makes them excellent choices for gardens in deer-prone areas across zones 3-9. Plant them in sunny borders where deer browsing is a concern.
