Rudbeckia hirta Rustic Colors


Gloriosa Daisy

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.455.250


Gloriosa Daisy hybrids are short-lived perennials, sometimes treated as annuals. Often these will survive a few winters, or at least self seed. This strain produces large black-eyed daisy flowers with petals in a range of shades from yellow through to gold, orange, bronze and deep mahogany-red, often with contrasting tips. An outstanding cut flower. Removing faded blossoms regularly will greatly increase the flowering time. Seed heads have good winter interest, and can be used in dried arrangements. Fairly drought tolerant, once established. Wonderful in mixed containers.
