Large, white, daisy-like flowers with prominent, burnt orange/red centres appear from July to September. This lovely coneflower grows wild in the North American prairies and glades but looks just as at home in the garden border.  The unusual, reflexed petals are much more slender than those of the more common Echinacea purpurea, making it an unusual cut flower.  
 It's a tough plant that does not need staking, and, like other coneflowers, it is long-flowering and will cope well with adverse weather conditions, except drought. Try  'Hula Dancer' dotted through a sunny border or in bold drifts among grasses where it will extend the season of  interest.  It is attractive to bees and butterflies, and birds will flock to  the seedheads.
                                        How to care for Echinacea pallida Hula Dancer:
                                         Plant Echinacea directly into well-prepared borders or larger pots and   containers, spacing them at 15-20cm (6-8in) intervals. Water well after   planting and while they are in active growth. 
 The seed heads are attractive, and are a valuable food source for birds during   the cooler months, so avoid cutting them back (to just above soil level) until  late winter. Over time, it will form larger clumps with more flowering stems,  so they can be lifted and divided in autumn or spring to maintain vigour and   flowering performance. 
 Taller cultivars in exposed locations will benefit from staking.
