Indian Summer Rudbeckia

If you're searching for a cheery, clear yellow flower to brighten the garden, look no further than Rudbeckia hirta 'Indian Summer'. Its daisy-like blooms shine from summer to first deoar in fall, and are great for pollinators, finches, and floral arrangements.
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. Can be divided every 4 years in spring. Spent foliage can be cut back to 6" for a flush of new growth.
