Rudbeckia hirta - Indian Summer
Big, sunny, and gloriously cheerful, Rudbeckia hirta ‘Indian Summer’ produces enormous golden daisy flowers with rich chocolate-brown centers that positively radiate warmth through the garden. The blooms can reach an impressive 6–9" across and are held proudly atop sturdy branching stems, making them fabulous for cutting and absolutely irresistible to bees and butterflies. There is something wonderfully nostalgic about these classic black-eyed Susans — pure late-summer happiness in flower form.
Fast growing and easy as can be, this award-winning annual or short-lived perennial reaches about 2–3' tall and blooms for months in full sun with average, well-drained soil. Deadheading keeps the flowers coming, though leaving some seedheads behind invites goldfinches to feast later in the season. ‘Indian Summer’ mixes beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, cosmos, and other prairie-style companions. Tough, floriferous, and endlessly uplifting, it is a perfect choice for gardeners wanting long-lasting color with almost effortless charm.
