Rudbeckia fulgida var. deamii - 9cm pot
I've written numerous blurbs about this beauty and photographed it many times as I just wouldn't be without it. A fantastic perennial for late summer colour, forming a bushy clump of foliage at ground level, studded with masses of golden-yellow-orange daisies with dark brown cones. Similar in all ways to the well known 'Goldsturm' but with a thinner petal width thus creating a slightly more elegant and see-through effect in the garden. A prolific flowerer and an excellent cut flower, also looks fabulous with the dark almost black seedheads left to weather for a while too. Wonderful for mass plantings, will tolerate most soils and increases well by division or seed. Divide in spring. Size at flowering time 60-80cm high x 30-50cm wide. 9cm pot.
