Brilliant golden yellow 4" coneflowers, brown eye, weather tolerant, well branched for vivid display, super for large pots or garden

Rudbeckia is a plant genus in the Asteraceae or composite family. Rudbeckia flowers feature a prominent, raised central disc in black, brown shades of green, and in-between tones, giving rise to their familiar common names of coneflowers and black-eyed-susans. All are native to North America, and many species are cultivated in gardens for their showy yellow or gold flower heads that bloom in mid to late summer.

Popular, reliable perennial with an extended flowering period.
This slightly more compact black-eyed Susan variety has been a favorite of gardeners since its introduction in 1937. It reliably produces lots of charming, long-blooming, daisylike flowers that attract butterflies, hummingbirds and bees to the garden but is unappetizing to deer and rabbits. The 5" blooms are a bit larger and brighter than other black-eyed Susans, and have golden-yellow petals and dark, button eyes. Be sure to plant some in your cutting garden. During winter, the seeds of the wilted flower heads feed hungry songbirds. Drought tolerant and strong.

sow seeds in early to mid-fall, or early to mid-spring. Seeds sown in the spring will need to be stratified (subjected to a cold treatment to mimic winter conditions) for 3 months at 40°F.
