Echibeckia™ Summerina™ ‘Electra Shock’


Echibeckia

 USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.197.680


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 early summer through fall and extra large flowers. This selection from the Summerina™ series features quill-type, yellow and brown bi-colour flowers giving it a spider mum appearance. In cooler weather the flowers have a brown tinge, in warmer weather the flower will appear more yellow. Floriferous. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
