Rudbeckia Chim Chiminee Seeds

Hardy Annual

Description

Rudbeckia hirta

Give your garden and floral designs a glow up with these quilled rudbeckia that come in a mix of gold, copper and red shades. These rudbeckia are tall (over 3 feet for me) and produce several stems per plant.  This variety also has a stronger stem and seems less prone to wilting compared to other rudbeckia varieties.  This is a cool-season hardy annual that may be a short-lived perennial in some climates.
