Description
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.
Planting & Care
Shipping
No shipping data
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
