Rudbekia hirta

These Black eyed Susans bloom in a mix of bronze, beige, yellow, terracotta and bi-colores in mostly double blooms. As a perennial this plant will winter over in mild climates coming back for years and adding warm color to the landscape. These flowers are also extremely long lasting if cut at the right stage, wait until the stems are no longer floppy before cutting.
