Comb-flower "White Swan".
An ornamental herb with large flowers, blooming almost all summer: from July to October. Forms a bush up to 100 cm high, inflorescences-baskets on a long strong peduncle. Reed flowers are white.
Photophilous, but tolerates partial shade, prefers fertile, sufficiently moist, but not damp soils. Propagated mainly by seeds, less often by dividing the bush in the spring, since the divisions take root slowly. Seeds are sown in the spring or in the middle of summer directly into the ground. They hibernate without shelter. Before winter, the plants are cut off. Used for planting in mixborders and for cutting. Echinacea should be cut at the half-bud stage. Echinacea medications boost immunity.

Eng.: Eastern purple coneflower, black sampson, comb-flower. Bot. syn.: Brauneria purpurea (L.) Britt., Rudbeckia purpurea L.
