Rudbeckia sunbeckia 'Scarlet'

Scarlet Sunbeckia Black Eyed Susan is a striking perennial featuring vivid scarlet-red petals surrounding a prominent dark central cone. With daisy-like flowers up to 6 inches wide, it delivers a spectacular splash of colour from mid-summer through fall. Its rich red hues enhance garden beds, borders, and containers, contrasting sharply with lush green foliage. Preferring full sun and well-drained soil, this compact, upright plant reaches 18-24 inches in height and width, suited for small gardens and front borders. Robust stems support large blooms in wind or rain, making it excellent for floral arrangements. Deer and rabbit resistant, moderately drought-tolerant once established, and highly attractive to pollinators, it requires minimal care—simply deadhead to prolong blooming and prune in early spring to promote new growth. This variety combines vivid color with reliable garden performance and pollinator appeal.
