Rudbeckia hirta ‘Irish Eyes’

Gloriosa Daisy

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.455.150

Gloriosa Daisy hybrids are short-lived perennials, sometimes treated as annuals. Often these will survive a few winters, or at least self seed. This tall strain produces large, single golden-yellow daisies with a bright green eye. 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. Wonderful in mixed containers.
