Rudbeckia 'Cherokee Sunset'

Rudbeckia 'Cherokee Sunset' is a tall mixture with single to double flowers. The colors include yellow, gold, bronze, orange, brown, mahogany-red, and bicolors.

'Cherokee Sunset' is a fabulous variety. I've grown it in beds and in large containers. It blooms prolifically through July and August, and it's not bothered by heat, as long as it gets enough water.

Rudbeckia hirta attracts many beneficial insects. In my garden, it was visited by tiny green bees, which were fun to watch. It is also known as Black-Eyed Susan. Deer-resistant.
