Rudbeckia ‘Prairie Sun’ produces gorgeous daisy-like blooms from early-summer through frost. Large, 5-inch flowers bear overlapping rings of orange petals tipped in lemon-yellow and surrounding a bright green eye. Flowers stand atop tall sturdy stems perfect for cutting and attract scores of butterflies. Low maintenance and deer resistant. (Rudbeckia hirta)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
24-36” tall x 18-24” wide. Rudbeckia ‘Prairie Sun’ is a biennial or short-lived perennial ideal for naturalizing in meadows, cottage gardens, and perennial borders where plants can seed freely. Plants are commonly treated as a re-seeding annual, with seed-heads left standing in fall to replenish the garden. Where volunteers are not desired, flower heads can be cut back to prevent re-seeding. Plants tolerate a wide range of soils including clay, but require adequate drainage. Rudbeckia is heat and drought tolerant, though plants bloom best with plenty of moisture. Upright stems bear small leaves above dense, basal foliage. Plants can be pinched back early in the season to increase branching. Deadheading encourages longer blooming. Flowers can be harvested for drying once fully opened.
