Echinacea 'Meringue'
Common Name: Meringue Coneflower
Echinacea ‘Meringue’ — commonly called Meringue Coneflower — is a long-blooming perennial valued for its fully double, creamy white flowers with soft, tufted centers that appear from early summer into fall. Dark green, slightly coarse foliage forms a sturdy clump and remains attractive through the season, sometimes developing muted tones in fall.
