Black-eyed Susan ‘Chim Chiminee’
Rudbeckia hirta
Description
This is a rust-toned mix of my favorite late summer to early autumn bloomers. The large flower heads and fuzzy, quilled petals are striking in shades of chocolate, bronze, rust-red, gold, and burnt orange. These abundant bloomers really shine when mixed with amaranth and grasses.
Details
Height: 24 to 30 in
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 100 to 120 days
Plant spacing: 12 in
Pinch: not necessary
Seed Sowing & Growing Notes
Start seed indoors in trays 8 to 10 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed.
