2003 AAS Flower Winner
Rudbeckia Prairie Sun
This robust rudbeckia has distinctive blooms. The light green central cone blends beautifully with the golden-yellow petals, which are tipped primrose yellow. The 5-inch blooms on branching plants that mature at about 3 feet tall make a strong statement in any full-sun garden. Easy to grow and maintain, Prairie Sun is a memorable plant in any perennial, annual or cut flower garden. Flower stems are sufficiently long for quality cut flowers. Prairie Sun plants become a forceful focal point in any large container.
Prairie Sun is also a recipient of the FleuroSelect Gold Medal award for performance in European trials.
