Spectacularly large Rudbeckia with yellow daisy-like flowers, a bright green center, and drooping yellow rays. Foliage is green, oblong, and toothed. A long-blooming plant with tremendous height.

Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun, preferably, or partial shade, in moist, well-drained soil. Amend with compost before planting. Prefers not to dry out, but is somewhat drought tolerant once established. Avoid overcrowding, as these like good air circulation. May require additional support; try cutting plants back by a third to half in June when plants are about 2' tall to make plants more compact and less floppy. Tall gardeners may deadhead throughout the season to encourage rebloom. Cut off any fallen stems in autumn; leave the rest, as the seedheads will feed the birds; cut back in late winter. Divide in spring every 4-5 years.
