The August garden is lit up by many bright, cheery Rudbeckias but one I am particularly fond of is Rudbeckia 'Herbstonne' (also called Rudbeckia 'Autumn Sun').
It's striking in a large grouping and makes a wonderful backdrop to any perennial border, given its height and dark green foliage. And it blooms from late summer to fall!
nice to meet a person who also likes flowers.
ReplyDeleteI live in Winnipeg Manitoba and these beautiful flowers just appeared in my yard one day and now after several years they align my back yard fence beautifully. I even trans-planted some around the yard and they grew great.
ReplyDeleteI have a pot of this plant and I've been wondering what it was. It has done great in a seven gallon plant, unprotected in Central Alabama for 6 or 7 years....should have known it was a Rudbeckia. Anyway, now I know what to call it. Hoping to divide it this Fall and give a few plants to friends. I love the foliage which isn't as small or pubescent as with a variety like 'Goldstrum'.
