For something rather unusual, but equally magnificent, why not try the Summerina® Sunchaser Echibeckia? Bred to combine the best characteristics of Echinacea and Rudbeckia, this Echibeckia features large yellow-and-orange petals around a brown central cone. Blooming from summer until fall, this perennial will add buckets of color wherever you decide to grow it. With a final size of around two feet, it won’t be difficult to squeeze into your landscape.
With its open centers, Summerina® Sunchaser Echibeckia is loved by pollinators and especially butterflies. As a compact plant, it is perfectly suited to growing in a container or planter but looks just as impressive when planted out in drifts in perennial borders. This echibeckia is drought tolerant once it has settled in and is suitable for growing in zones 7 to 9. Whether left in the garden or cut for a vase, its huge flowers look impressive.
Summerina® Sunchaser Echibeckia Care
For the Summerina® Sunchaser Echibeckia to really shine, it needs to be grown in full sun to partial shade. Although tolerant of most soil types, it prefers to be grown in free-draining soil. Once established, this perennial is tolerant of dry conditions, but will need to be watered frequently after planting and for the first growing season. To support production of its eye-catching flowers, a slow-release, balanced fertilizer can be applied in spring.
Deadhead the flowers as they begin to fade to encourage more blooms throughout the season. After the first frost of winter, the stems can be cut back to just above soil level to make way for new growth in spring.
Summerina® Sunchaser Echibeckia Spacing
The Summerina® Sunchaser Echibeckia can grow to 22-26 inches tall and 16-20 inches wide. When growing this plant as part of a group, it should be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
