There’s a new and improved Black-eyed Susan in town! This variety boasts a slightly more compact shape, remarkable flower power, and exceptional resistance to septoria leaf spot, the bane of Rudbeckia growers. The result? Gorgeous, tidy, and blemish-free plants that burst into bloom from July through September. It’s the ideal choice for mass plantings or adding a pop of color to containers.
