Rudbeckia 'Autumn forest' - 1200 seeds (Rudbeckia hirta)
Rudbeckia hirta 'Autumn Forest' (Coneflower, Black Eyed Susan)
Rudbeckia hirta 'Autumn Forest' flowers reach up to five inches across in some phenomenally beautiful autumn shades including yellow and shades of red and mahogany with darker centers. The flowers are great for cutting as they have strong stems that are long enough to arrange nicely in the vase. They grow quickly and bloom heavily from flower seed sown the same year.
