Coneflower, Echinacea, and Black-Eyed Susan, Rudbeckia, are two of North America’s toughest and most beautiful natives, and thanks to some brilliant botanical breeders, we now have an unbeatable hybrid for the garden: Echibeckia!

Echibeckia is an intergeneric hybrid, and it’s the ultimate super-plant! It takes the massive bloom size, crazy colors, and disease resistance of Echinacea, and combines it with the rapid growth, heat tolerance, and massive flower production of Rudbeckia.

Echibeckia blooms for months, doesn't need staking, and handles the heat like an absolute champion. And just like it’s parents, it needs full sun, but very little care once established. It’s truly the best of both worlds, and it definitely deserves a prime spot in your garden!
