Description

I’m always on the lookout for rust-coloured flowers; like crimson, rust goes with all my favourite colours and slots in so easily anywhere.

Rudbeckias are long and prolific flowerers, so this is hard not to love. We used it last summer in the cutting garden and to add autumn colour to our flower borders. It excelled at both.

Care Tips

Often grown as an annual but may overwinter, flower more strongly in second year and last a few years in sheltered locations on free-draining soil.
