Description
Biennial ornamental herb up to 45 cm tall, suitable for full sun exposition, with upright habit and very vigorous growth. Ideal for landscape use, either in isolated groups or in compositions with other ornamentals, to form brightly coloured borders in warm shades, also perfect in planters and large tubs. Flowering takes the form of a profusion of daisy-like flowers, grouped in the typical flower head inflorescence that distinguishes the Rudbeckia genus , which are well liked by useful insects such as butterflies and bumblebees.
