Cherry Brandy Rudbeckia Hirta is a stunning perennial grown in zones 3-9. It boasts large, vibrant blooms and grows up to 24 inches tall.
Rudbeckia hirta are wonderful, free flowering daisies in colors from yellow through bronze and mahogany. You can have them for years, but the original plants will only last a few seasons. But wait! The plants self-seed readily and if you learn to recognize the slightly hairy seedlings and allow a few to develop where you want them; you can have as many as you want for many years.

- Cherry Brandy' is a floriferous selection of black-eyed Susan that features 3-4" diameter blooms with red to maroon petals surrounding dark center cones. Plants will reach up to 24" tall and 16" wide.
- The flowers, which bloom continuously from mid-summer into fall, are held on sturdy stems and make excellent cut flowers. Attractive to butterflies and other insect pollinators. Will self-seed freely in the garden, and returns true to type.
- Prefer moist, fertile well-drained soil. Although drought tolerant, Rudbeckia bloom better with ample moisture. Pinching can produce more compact plants in taller varieties.
- Allow seeds to fall to assure permanence in the garden. Spent flower heads can be cut back to prevent too many volunteers.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
