Description
Echinacea purpurea 'Meditation White' is a recent variety derived from Echinacea purpurea, with a compact habit and thick, robust stems that support long and abundant summer flowering. This echinacea offers a multitude of almost squat flowers from the end of June, composed of a dense and almost horizontal white collar, surrounding a prominent ochre to olive-coloured heart. It is a very resistant plant that adapts to difficult conditions, tolerating intense heat, humidity, and drought. It can even grow in poor soils and performs well in pots.
Native to the western United States, from Georgia to Michigan, passing through Oklahoma and Ohio, the purple Rudbeckia is a perennial with a strong character, which confidently colonizes rocky meadows, savannas, open woodlands, and roadside edges in its natural habitat. 'Meditation White' is a dwarf form of this intrepid pioneer. It has a compact and dense clump-like habit, reaching 50 cm (20in) high and 40-45 cm (16-18in) wide. This plant remains strong and upright, showing excellent resilience. The deciduous, opposite, lanceolate, green leaves are covered in rough hairs. Flowering occurs from July to September, accompanying all the summer flowers and loved by butterflies. The unbranched, olive-green stems each terminate in a solitary flower head measuring 6-7 cm (2-3in) in diameter, with a large and prominent, initially olive-green, then ochre-yellow cone, and short, fringed, pure white ligules. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds which birds are fond of. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil, thanks to its well-developed root system.
'Meditation White' Echinacea, with its compact, dense habit and long flowering period, will find a place at the edge of borders, and in flowerbeds and containers. It can be mixed with other varieties (such as Pica Bella, Cranberry Cupcake), or smaller yarrows, daisies ('Engelina', 'Princesse d'argent'), echinops, and dwarf phlox. Lighten up the scene by adding some ornamental grasses like Stipa tenuifolia, Muhlenbergia capillaris, Pennisetum orientale Karley Rose...Splendid in borders, the beautiful flowers of the purple echinacea are also stunning in fresh or dried flower arrangements.
Properties: In homoeopathy, its root is used to combat colds and strengthen the immune system. These properties were first used by Native Americans. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek echinos, which means "hedgehog-like," and acea, which means "having the shape of," alluding to the flower heads. Purpurea means "purple."

Planting and care
Echinacea 'Meditation White' takes time to establish as its growth is rather slow. However, once in place it requires no special care and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mix of compost and garden soil. The soil should be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Remove faded flowers as they appear. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. It is a rhizomatous plant that can become invasive. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to keep it moist in summer, as it is sensitive to drought during flowering.

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).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
