Rudbeckia fulgida var. fulgida - BLACK-EYED SUSAN (late flowering, vigorous and healthy)
Another Rudbeckia? Yes, and a very good one! Even though they may look similar to you, they offer different qualities that may suit your garden better than others.
- Var. fulgida is long flowering botanical variety, the latest of all Rudbeckias - flowers from mid/late July to October for 10 weeks! When Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' turns brown, this one is in its peak. It's usually the first frost that stops this flowering machine.
- the look is more delicate and noble - the glossy, attractive leaves are narrower, and the flowers smaller (only 2")
- it doesn't spread much, even though it is very vigorous, vital, and healthy. Strictly upright sturdy growth
Usually about 2' tall x 1' wide (3' x 2' with constant moisture).
Full sun, half shade, average soils, medium moist to medium-dry, drought tolerant once established.
Deer and rabbit resistant, black walnut tolerant plant. Attracts some butterflies and honey bees, seedheads can feed small birds in late fall and winter.
Hardy in zones 5 to 9.
Beautiful in flower beds, can be combined with many perennials and grasses, excellent cut flower.
Pot size : square 3.5" x 4" deep pot
