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.

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.

Good buy
"Plants arrived very healthy looking and packed very well for shipping. Glad I bought."
It didn't survive.
"I planted, watered & properly cared for this plant. I just don't believe they were healthy plants that I received in the first place."
Great plant
"I've had nothing but great plants from American Meadows and this is no exception. Arrived healthy and growing and took right off when planted."
Beautiful!
"These are doing great in an area that for unknown reasons I'm having trouble growing other flowers, including supposedly easy growers. I plan on testing the soil and possibly treating for grubs. But these beauties are shining! #sweepstakes"
Great plant
"Planted a teeny tiny plant last september-ish and now in June (zone 6b), plants are 3 feet tall and full of flowers. (Sorry the photo I have on my phone also shows my snap peas)"
Just Beautiful
"This is a new plant and is still very small. I had one of these previously, but my new gardener thought it was a weed and pulled it along with another one. Grrrrr. The previous ones grew beautifully and looked as good as the pictures on the website. I bought two of each of the new flowers and anticipate some beautiful flowers over the years. These plants are hardy and the flowers on the stalk stay beautiful for a long time before they die."
Big and Beautiful
"I added these to my new cottage/perennial garden and they steal the show. Bright and bold they look great amongst the coneflowers. Would definitely buy again."
