Notes
'Gloriosa Double' rudbeckia hirta (Rudbeckia hirta 'Gloriosa Double') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast and stands erect. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought and salt. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Lanceleaf coreopsis, Switchgrass, and Mealycup sage.
