Bloom Time: Jul-Sep

Notes: This tall, colorful Rudbeckia is perfect for the middle of the flower border where its well-branched stems carry loads of large, burnt orange-red flowers with bright yellow tips and a dark cone over a long period without deadheading. Birds enjoy its seeds late in the season. Short-lived; best to allow plants to reseed.
