White Meditation has masses of flowers and attractive seed heads, which you can leave on for winter interest. Attractive to butterflies and bees and flowering for a long period, this is a great choice for a garden border, either dotted about or in massed drifts. As it is fairly compact, you can also use it to good effect in a container.

- Echinaceas do very well in a sunny spot in well drained soil.
