Black Eyed Susan 'Denver Daisy'

Black Eyed Susan ‘Denver Daisy’

Ignite your summer garden with the fiery brilliance of Rudbeckia hirta ‘Denver Daisy,’ a bold and sun-loving perennial (often grown as an annual) bred to celebrate the city of Denver’s 150th anniversary. Each large daisy-like bloom boasts golden-yellow petals that flare from a deep mahogany-red center, radiating warmth like a midsummer sunset. Towering on strong, upright stems, ‘Denver Daisy’ adds vibrant color and vertical interest to borders, cutting gardens, and wildflower plantings. A magnet for bees and butterflies, its long-lasting blooms provide continuous drama from early summer to frost.

Care tips:

• Light: Full sun; thrives in open, sunny spaces with good air circulation
• Water: Moderate; water regularly during dry spells, but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Soil: Average, well-drained soil; tolerant of poor soil once established
• Maintenance: Low; deadhead to prolong bloom time and encourage reblooming, or leave seed heads in fall for winter interest and bird forage
