It has doubled on one bloom so far and I can see the formation of another set of doubles on a second bloom. It has only three blooms and two buds, but has absolutely performed its duty-contrary to some other reviews I have read. The double decker is by far the most interesting. read more each other, which I do not like in a coneflower. Kim’s knee high also has multiple blooms, but I do not find them as color rich or as interesting as the others-they sort of sit on top of. The bubblegum has a very unique shape as well as a beautiful color, the green jewel is interesting because there just are not that many green blooms around (other than some of my hydrangeas). All are happy and healthy, but my best performers by far are the bubblegum and green jewel producing multiple blooms with no end in sight as I see buds way down the line.

All have been well watered and in a good mix of well-drained soil receiving full sun with harsh afternoons. The list includes the Double Decker, Green Jewel, Double Scoop Bubblegum, Kim’s knee high and the Pow Wow. I planted five Echinacea varieties just this late spring (about six weeks ago).

In partial sun, I have sweet drift roses that are covered in flowers, white trailing lantana, dwarf balloon flowers, rockin' purple dianthus, other long blooming dianthus and cora vinca. Other plants for partial shade are Amistad Salvia with violet purple spires, Miss Manners Obedient plant with white flowers that look like snapdragons, Our Lady of Guadalupe Rose that blooms prolifically and grey owl junipers. It's hard to find flowers that thrive in partial shade, but Pow Wow loves it. It's full of blossoms that last a very long time.
Our alkaline, clay soil was amended with compost and sandy loam. I transplanted it just inside the drip line of a row of Eleagnus that I trimmed into small trees, so it is in partial shade. In the direct, hot sun, the Pow Wow leaves burned. My bed has partial sun in the front of the bed, 4 hours of direct sun mid day, dappled shade the rest of the day.

Each flower (to 3-4" diameter) features downward-arching, overlapping, clean white rays which encircle a large yellow to yellowish-brown center cone. ‘PowWow White’ is a white-flowered coneflower that typically grows in an upright clump to 2-3' tall and to 1-1.5' wide on sturdy, well-branched stems that do not need staking. Genus name of Echinacea comes from the Greek word echinos meaning hedgehog or sea-urchin in reference to the spiny center cone found on most flowers in the genus. The dead flower stems will remain erect well into the winter, and if flower heads are not removed, the blackened cones may be visited by goldfinches or other birds that feed on the seeds. Showy daisy-like purple coneflowers (to 5" diameter) bloom throughout summer atop stiff stems clad with coarse, ovate to broad-lanceolate, dark green leaves. Echinacea purpurea, commonly called purple coneflower, is a coarse, rough-hairy, herbaceous perennial that is native to moist prairies, meadows and open woods of the central to southeastern United States (Ohio to Michigan to Iowa south to Louisiana and Georgia).
