Coneflower 'Herbstsonne', Cutleaf Coneflower 'Herbstsonne', Rudbeckia 'Autumn Sun', Rudbeckia Nitida 'Herbstsonne'
If you are looking for golden blooms in mid or late summer, award-winner Rudbeckia laciniata ‘Herbstsonne’ (aka ‘Autumn Sun’) will not disappoint you. Very tall, this late flowering Coneflower features large daisy blossoms, 4-5 in. across (10-12 cm), with broad, drooping, bright golden petals surrounding a prominent pale green conical center that turns brown as it matures. Blooming profusely from midsummer to fall, the blossoms rise atop sturdy, upright stems above the healthy foliage of glossy mid-green leaves, that remain lovely throughout the entire season. Its attractive seedheads further extend its season of interest and will be visited in the fall and winter by birds that will feast on them.
