Outsidepride Rudbeckia Coneflower Ruby Gold Black-Eyed Susan Flower Seed Mix - 50 Seeds

Rudbeckia (Rudbeckia Hirta Ruby Gold) - Expect armloads of big bright blooms from this irrepressible duo of Black-eyed Susans! Unforgettable yellow and deep red with darker marks near the base make an unforgettable combination in the sunny garden or as a cut flower. This long blooming rudbeckia will have you picking flowers from midsummer until frost season begins! The flowers open in hot, sun-soaked conditions, and once this plant is established, it doesn't mind unseasonable levels of heat, humidity, rain, cold, or even drought. Poor soil is no problem, though best blooming will be in enriched garden soil with adequate water. This plant reaches about 20 to 24 inches high and nearly as wide, with good branching and healthy foliage. More compact than wild Rudbeckia, it is a magnet for butterflies and bees in the summer garden, and in autumn the songbirds feast on the seed-filled black centers of every bloom! Ruby Gold is an annual or sometimes biennial growing best in USDA zones 5 through 8. It will bloom the first summer if the seeds are begun early indoors. Pick or deadhead the blooms for even faster rebloom over two long seasons of glory!
