Black-eyed Susan 'Giggling SmileyZ', Gloriosa Daisy 'Giggling SmileyZ'
Noted for its very long blooming season, Rudbeckia ‘Giggling SmileyZ’ is the result of a cross between Rudbeckia and Echinacea combining the appearance of Rudbeckia with the hardiness of Echinacea. Vigorous and fast-growing, this compact plant boasts large, double, butter yellow flowers adorned with mahogany brush strokes and dark chocolate cones. Blooming profusely from early summer to frost, they are borne atop strong stems, oblivious to the vagaries of weather, and last for months. A great addition to borders or containers. Makes excellent cut flowers.
