Description
Rudbeckia hirta \’Cherokee Sunset\’ is a vibrant, annual or short-lived perennial known for its striking bi-coloured daisy-like flowers, which display rich orange-red petals fading to a golden yellow towards the centre. Blooming from midsummer into autumn, it creates a vivid and cheerful display in borders, containers, or cottage-style gardens. The flowers are highly attractive to pollinators including bees and butterflies, adding ecological as well as ornamental value. Its upright stems and bushy habit make it an excellent choice for colourful summer plantings.
It thrives in full sun in well-drained, fertile soil and is relatively low-maintenance, requiring occasional deadheading to prolong flowering. Non-native to the UK, it adds bright, long-lasting summer colour and works well in mixed perennial borders or wildflower-inspired plantings.
