A compact, mounded Rudbeckia that delivers cheerful golden-yellow pompom blooms with striking dark brown centres. As flowers mature, the strap-like petals develop warm red edges for added visual interest. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. Once established, this variety thrives in dry conditions, making it perfect for low-maintenance gardens. Plant in beds or containers for reliable, long-lasting colour.
