Rudbeckia hirta Sahara

8 Plugs Shipped in a Mini Greenhouse

Early Spring (cold soil) - plant approximately 2 weeks before your last frost date.

Rudbeckia hirta has come a long way from the yellow and black wild-type "black-eyed Susan". These daisy-like flowers come in a mix of cheerful yellows, rusty brown, and mahogany red hues and are essential for sunny, well drained cutting gardens. Grown by professional flower farmers and savvy home gardeners, this reliable species offers bold color, sturdy stems, and excellent vase life. Perfect for summer bouquets, Rudbeckia hirta thrives in full sun, attracting pollinators and providing reliable blooms in the first year, often returning for a second season or reseeding for years to come. Newly introduced varieties offer exciting new colors and shapes, giving a refreshing new spin on an old classic. Plan to grow them as an annual in cold-climate areas. 

** 'Sahara' showcases beautiful natural variation in color, meaning the blooms may feature shades and tones similar to those in the photos, but not identical. This unique characteristic adds depth to your garden, creating a display full of subtle, harmonious differences. **
