It makes a great container plant and can also be used as a cut flower.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Rudbeckias are easy to grow in average well drained soil in full sun to partial sun. Remove the spent flower heads to encourage repeat bloom. Toward the end of the flowering season leave the flower heads for the birds to eat over the winter.
