Rudbeckia 'Enchanted Velvet Flame'

Rudbeckias are a particularly handy garden annual, providing robust, colourful blooms that flower continuously from July through to October. Rudbeckia ?Enchanted Velvet Flame? produces large, semi-double flowers with dark maroon-red petals and a striking chocolate centre. The blooms measure up to 10cm (4) across and are borne from strong, weather-proof stems above tidy mounds of foliage that won't overcrowd surrounding plants. ?Enchanted Velvet Flame? is a magnet for pollinators and is perfect for planting in bold groups in sunny to semi-shaded wildlife gardens, beds and borders or in patio containers. They also make a wonderful cut flower for indoor vase arrangements. A short-lived perennial, best treated as an annual. Height: 50cm (20?). Spread: 45cm (18?).
