Be mindful that the blooms are not a pure, crisp white like a shasta daisy; they're more like a "dirty" white -- doesn't sound too appealing, I know, but they aren't true white and they're not off-white/almond, so not sure how else to describe it - ? . The large blooms are nice and look great combined with other colors or isolated but I wouldn't plant in close proximity to a pure white color.

This is only my second season with Pow Wow white so haven't formed much of an opinion. I can say that they bloomed a fair amount of time last summer (bought them budded) and this is a short cultivar, not interchangeable with White Swan size-wise.

Ff, I'll look for wild berry, I might like that shade better. And the doppelgänger and sombrero too. Did you order yours? As I didn't see these at my nursery.

Adonai, by reverting, is that to the purple? And thanks for the additional mentions, ill check into those. Do you like Lucky Star better? Thanks for the link.

Wieslaw, what zone are you? Used to feel the same way about the drooping petals, and may again!! Thanks for the additional mentions, your favorite?

mxk3, noted on the color. Thx. I can handle that tone tho, so pow wow is much shorter? I did see some nice 4" and quart sized plants available locally.

I prefer the shorter ones to the tall gangly white swan as well.

I planted several mail order plants of 'Pow Wow Wildberry' last year and even started some seeds of myself. It was an all around total dud in my conditions. An extremely weak grower with awful, tiny washed out pale pink blooms that were nothing like the deep rose-pink-magenta blooms I was hoping for. None of my plants survived the winter. Because of this experience, I will probably never be motivated to try out 'Pow Wow White'.

was overwhelmed with all the options on Bluestone Perrenials site. Fall shipment though. Interesting!!

Also have a bunch of 'Primadonna White' seedlings, that are in their 3rd season. They didn't bloom the first year, were transplanted last year so it wasn't much of a show, but I'm so excited to see how they do this year along with the Pow Wow Wild Berry and Bravado seedlings. That photo of PWWB is very nice, I hope mine look like that, but in general I would have to say the other seedlings are much stronger growers than PWWB.

I just bought seeds of Echinacea 'Baby Swan' and have a bunch of little sprouts. Supposedly a short (2 foot) cultivar of White Swan.

Here's my white swan a few years back -
