Notes
'Marmalade' black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta 'Marmalade') 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 upright at 12 to 24 inches tall, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit it. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with False Queen Anne's lace, First Knight fountain grass, and Borage.
