'Autumn Sun' is sometimes listed as a variety of Rudbeckia nitida, but is possibly a cross between that species and R. laciniata. Native to eastern & southern U.S.

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.

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.

Water Requirements: Water soil fully, then let moderately dry out before next watering.
