Plant in full to part sun. Once established this plant is fairly drought tolerant but does best if given irrigation occasionally to regularly. Hardy to USDA zone 4.

It is the result of the cross between the 'White Swan', a white flowered form of the typically purple common coneflower, Echinacea purpurea and E. paradoxa, a yellow flowering species that ranges from Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas.
