Description

Cherokee Sunset Rudbeckia is a show-stopping, heirloom Black-Eyed Susan known for its rich, sunset-inspired blooms in shades of bronze, gold, rust, mahogany, and burgundy. Unlike traditional single-petal Rudbeckias, this variety features large, semi-double to double flowers that add bold texture and long-lasting color to garden beds, borders, and cut-flower arrangements.

A true workhorse in the garden, Cherokee Sunset thrives in summer heat, blooms heavily from early summer through fall, and attracts pollinators like butterflies and bees. Its sturdy stems and dramatic coloring make it an excellent choice for cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and mixed perennial plantings.
