Product description
Rudbeckia Summerina Orange is an intergeneric cross that combines the cheerful appearance of rudbeckia with the hardiness of echinacea.
Also known as black eyed Susan, this perennial boasts large orange flowers that last from mid-summer through autumn. The daisy-like blooms take on a rusty hue as they near the copper brown centres, creating a striking floral display. Rudbeckia flowers are attractive to wildlife, bringing bees, butterflies and birds to the garden. Deadhead spent flowers to promote a second flush later in the season.
Rudbeckia Summerina Orange makes a great addition to flower beds and borders. They are also well suited to containers and are an excellent choice for brightening patios and terraces.
Like all herbaceous perennials, black eyed Susan dies back below ground at the end of the growing season. It spends the winter underground, safe from harsh temperatures and blossoms back to life in spring. Prune spent foliage at the end of autumn or the beginning of spring before new growth emerges.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and extend the flowering season of Rudbeckia.
How to Water
Water Rudbeckia regularly, especially during dry spells. While they are drought-tolerant once established, they prefer consistent moisture. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot, ensuring the soil is well-drained.
How to Plant
Plant Rudbeckia in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in, and fill the hole with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and space plants about 30-45cm apart to allow for growth.
