I’ve never purchased a white Echinacea, and almost all of this patch (about 600 sq ft) are self seeded, so I’d say natural variations. A few years ago a neighbour, admiring the white ones, asked about them as well. I tied string around several white flower stalks and the following spring dug up those clumps and gave them to him. He reported they all bloomed purple….

Did you plant white coneflowers, too, or are those white ones natural variations? Love them as much as the sunflower!
