Rudbeckia hirta ‘Becky Mix’ is a compact short-lived perennial, usually grown as an annual, boasting very large flowers, 4-6 in. across (10-15 cm), in a wide range of shades including yellow, orange, cinnamon, and bronzy-red. Blooming profusely from early summer to frost, they provide weeks of eye-catching color and make a guaranteed garden attraction. The delightful blossoms rise atop sturdy, upright stems above the foliage clump of fresh green leaves. Thriving in hot, dry conditions, this dwarf Rudbeckia is a great addition to borders or containers and makes excellent cut flowers. Its seed heads have good winter interest unless they are used in dried arrangements.
