"Micah J. Mabelitini" expounded:

White purple coneflower isn't E. pallida.

That's debatable. It's the white echinacea I grew. I didn't like it.
I do know the difference )

E. pallida is white, but it's not E.purpurea 'White Swan' or 'Alba.' It's not
even the same plant! The pallida is sort of rangy, but like I said, it looked
much better this year with neglect.
