Echibeckia Summerina Yellow

Echibeckia Summerina Yellow
Improved hybrid of Rudbeckia and Echinacea.
An intergeneric cross between two popular perennials offering the appearance of Rudbeckia with the hardiness of Echinacea. The advantages are longer lasting flowers, a long bloom season from summer through fall and extra large flowers. This selection from the Summerina™ series features large flowers (60cm/3" across) consisting of bright gold petals with a rusty-orange inner halo surrounding a red-brown cone.
