Black-Eyed Susan, Deam's Coneflower, Rudbeckia deamii
Adding drama to the late-season garden, award-winning Rudbeckia fulgida var. deamii is a clump-forming, erect perennial boasting masses of rich golden yellow flowers, 3 in. across (7 cm), from late summer through mid-fall. Borne on sturdy stems, each charming flower counts up to 12-20 rays surrounding a prominent chocolate central cone. They are produced in such profusion that they cover the foliage of oval, dark-green leaves. The dense chocolate seed heads persist into early winter, adding further interest. Strong, vigorous, and pest resistant, this beautiful Rudbeckia species is an excellent choice for the middle of a late summer border.
