Pawnee Spirit Rudbeckia Seeds

Description

The compact sister of Denver Daisy, Pawnee Spirit Rudbeckia blooms summer through fall. Early, abundantly, and uniformly blooming, Pawnee Spirit sets daisylike 6-inch flowers with golden-yellow rays and a large rich-mahogany center and cone. Borne singly on sturdy stems that will not flop, the blooms make excellent long-lasting cut flowers. Bright and nectar-rich, the flowers attract bees and butterflies to the garden for months on end, and the seed heads that follow offer winter interest as well as sustenance for songbirds, such as American goldfinches.

A Rudbeckia hirta, commonly called black-eyed Susan and sometimes called gloriosa daisy, Pawnee Spirit is a biennial or short-lived perennial, typically grown as an annual, with a compact, upright, bushy habit and a rapid growth rate. Black-eyed Susan is shown to best effect when massed. It is a classic bedding and border plant but also works well in decorative patio pots.
