A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
Technically called an Echibeckia™, which is produced by crossing the annual rudbeckia with the hardiness of the perennial echinacea. The remarkable result is larger and longer lasting flowers, as well as a prolonged flowering season.
