Rudbeckia hirta ‘Cherokee Sunset’

Gloriosa Daisy hybrids are short-lived perennials, sometimes treated as annuals. Often these will survive a few winters, or at least self seed. This colourful mid-sized strain produces large double daisy flowers for months on end. Shades vary from yellow through gold, orange, brown and bronzy-red. An outstanding cut flower. Removing faded blossoms regularly will greatly increase the flowering time. Seed heads have good winter interest, and can be used in dried arrangements. Fairly drought tolerant, once established. All America Selections winner, 2002. Fleuroselect winner.
