Rudbeckia variety

Just one of the many versions of Rudbeckia hirta in my garden
Allowed to go to seed & multiply this native, sometimes perennial, annual produces amazing variations. Saving seed of a particular one of these will not necessarily produce like offspring. 
Enjoy the genetic diversity of this fabulous flowering plant.

  1. Carol, I took home one of these plants from the Arboretum. It was,a reject that had few leaves and chewed up. It now looks amazing at chest height and dozens of blooms.

  2. Hard to go wrong with this easy to grow native. The pollinators love it too.
