Description
Basic color and sandpapery leaves are identical to its parent, the black-eyed susan, but flowers are much larger, varied in form, and most important, this species is perennial, while black-eyed susan (R. hirta) is biennial, making its yearly bloom less dependable. A truly fabulous plant for meadow color. Also great for cutting.

Reviews
Gloriosa Daisy - They scream SUMMER!
"These are so beautiful and cheerful! Seeds take a while to germinate initially, so be patient and keep them watered, but they bloomed fabulously the first year. And they come back year after year! Can't recommend highly enough!"
Beautiful flowers
"First season I mixed with other wildflowers spread all around the property. I was disappointed that I didn't see any signs of the first year leaves. Then second year, wow they are everywhere and beautiful. Very impressed. They also started blooming after the one eye daisy's dropped their blooms and the Shasta daisy's started blooming."
Update of year ago review.
"This update pertains to my review from last year; I stated that the germination was great, but the seed seemed to be full of marestail weed seeds. I don't know what that was from, but after painstakingly weeding out all of the weeds, and now into the 2nd growing season, the gloriosa bed is beautiful. Today is June 30, and they are now in full bloom. I will definately order from American Meadows again, in the future."
Great germination, pretty flowers, "but". . . . . . .
"I planted a 3' X 150' strip of these Gloriosa last fall. It is now late June, and they have germinated profusely, and have just begun to bloom. Very impressed with the germination. My only issue; there is as much "marestail" germinated as Gloriosa, in the bed. There is no marestail anywhere else in the area, only combined with the gloriosa. It appears the seed may have been combined with the gloriosa seed. I have needed to, daily, weed out the marestail, which is extremely tedious. Very happy with the flowers, not so much with the weeds."
Love these.
"I planted these in two full-sun areas and one partial sun area. Great germination for all. I'd guess half the plants in the full-sun areas flowered, while none of the ones in the partial sun area did. However, since they are perennials, I am looking forward to this summer, when all of them should flower. In their first year, they flowered from mid/late July through September. Foliage is low to the ground, flowers were probably a little over a foot tall and stayed upright without support. For me, these are like Rudbeckia, but prettier because of the variation in flower color. Easy to plant, easy to bloom."
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL flowers!
"These are definitely beautiful flowers, I am partial to yellows, orange and reds. I was really surprised to see them this year because I put the seeds down almost 4 years ago!!"
Crazy good germination and covers a large area.
"I planted 1/4 of a pound of these last spring in a first year meadow to see how they would do. So many came up that I bought a pound to spread this year. The plants from last year are easily 3-3. 5ft tall and have up to 8 buds per plant on some. The flower heads are huge and have amazing color. They also bloomed the first year which is an added bonus."
Pretty but Disappointed
"Flowers are beautiful and prolific. I have had one problem with them. Many of the blooming flowers fall over and won't stand up straight, which is disappointing and diminishes my enjoyment. This has happened both years they have bloomed. It happens in all the areas they are planted, not just in one place. I had the same flowers from a different batch of seeds that I planted years ago and never had this problem."
Beautiful addition.
"It took a while for them to come up but when they did they performed well. A happy addition to a boring area."
Patience will Prove it
"If you can wait a season, this sweetheart will surprise you with a spectacular show in the mid to late summer. I planted a Southeast mix, and there was a plant that had soft fuzzy leaves but never a bloom. I kept it around for its leaves and moved on; the following summer, a mystery flower popped up and dazzles me every time I come into my driveway. I have a corner lot and a focal garden full of zinnias (because they're easy) and this one outshines ALL the zinnias. If you can be patient and allow this gorgeous lady time to set herself up, you will not be disappointed. Absolutely stunning, and the perfect shades of warmth for the late summer garden."
