The Butter Cream double flowered eastern purple coneflower is a unique variety whose flowers can be admired all summer long. Plants bear flowers from June to October. They start light yellow and turn creamy white when ripe. The plant owes its erect growth form to its stiff, up to 80-centimetre tall shoots. The charming flowers are melliferous, a feature that is eagerly used by butterflies and pollinating insects. The Butter Cream variety is a wonderful decoration of border and showcase plantings that include other coneflower varieties. Its light, beautiful flowers are well suited to be exposed at the most elegant garden spots. Eastern purple coneflower is a perennial that even a less experienced gardener should master. A larger cluster of a flowering coneflower forms a picturesque meadow. This flower can be cut and formed into bouquets that stay fresh for a long time.  Attractive, modern plantings can be achieved by combining eastern purple coneflowers with ornamental grasses. These are all-purpose plants that look good in home gardens and naturalistic compositions in urban green areas.
