Rudbeckia hirta Cherry Brandy

This stunning cultivar is the world’s first red Rudbeckia, and has gained huge popularity with UK gardeners. These robust plants have outstanding garden performance, producing a mass of attractive, cherry-coloured blooms all summer long. Triumphing over heat and poor soils, these versatile coneflowers look stunning when planted beds, large patio containers, or as sweeping drifts in herbaceous borders.
