Every year I experiment with growing a few new perennials from seed. This rudibeckia was one of this years. Of five plants I set out, each is sporting different sunset colors-rust, mahagony, golds and yellows, in both double and semi-double petal formations. The coloration is much more interesting than the normal yellow rudibeckia. These have been blooming about six weeks now. They don't seem to like a lot of water and humidity, so are looking a bit tired under current weather conditions. I'll cut them back soon and hope for another flush of flowers as fall comes. They really are autumnal colors and should bloom until first frost.
