Bright cherry-red petals with crimson rays surrounding a chocolate brown center disc. . .is this really a Rudbeckia? Gorgeous Cherry Brandy Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta 'Cherry Brandy') can't help but create a sensation planted anywhere you have full sun!
Plant this stunning selection to create a compelling contrast with other cultivars. They start blooming in summer and continue to dazzle through fall.
Planting and Application:
Narrow and upright growth habit makes Cherry Brandy Rudbeckia look almost formal. But the rough-textured leaves add an earthy, organic feel to these durable perennials.
- Nothing could be better for beneficial pollinators, butterflies and hummingbirds than this vibrant choice. Imagine how their jewel-tones will "pop" off the deeply pigmented petals!
- Use in a modern planter as a deliciously dark "Filler". You'll love the extended season of bloom to decorate your backyard or balcony.
- We encourage you to get creative with these beautiful blooms. Use them in a mixed border with an unforgettable mix of your favorites. . .like Grandiflora Roses, Ornamental Grasses and Hoary Vervain!
- Mix and match your favorite Black Eyed Susan cultivars for a custom look worthy of a page in a designer magazine! NatureHills.com has such fantastic prairie perennials to choose from, after all.
- Cherry Brandy Black Eyed Susan is a self-seeding selection that makes a great choice for "happy surprises" in a Cottage Garden. Naturalize them in large-scale borders, or simply take the blooms indoors for cut flowers to easily maintain in a small space garden.
#ProPlantTips for Care:
These easy-care plants will make you look good with saturated blooms from summer to fall! Cherry Brandy Black Eyed Susan luxuriates in full sun and well-drained soil.
- Ensure they have at least six hours of daylight for best flowering. If you have heavy soil that stays wet, raise them up in a planting bed or keep them in tall patio pots.
- Although these durable plants can withstand a little dry weather, cherry Brandy Black Eyed Susan will do best with a consistent moisture level applied on a regular basis. Get expert watering tips from the NatureHills.com Horticulture Team.
- Trim their dried foliage in late autumn. Watch in springtime for a new flush of growth that emerges from the crown.
