Rudbeckia 'Orange Sunset' is a stunning hardy perennial producing masses of large, daisy-like flowers in glowing shades of sunset orange with rich coppery-brown centres. Flowering from mid to late summer and often continuing well into autumn, these cheerful blooms provide weeks of vibrant colour when many other perennials are beginning to fade.
A favourite with florists and gardeners alike, the long, sturdy stems make excellent cut flowers with an impressive vase life, while the nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators throughout the season, making them an invaluable addition to cutting gardens and perennial borders.
Easy to grow and highly reliable, Orange Sunset thrives in a sunny position with well-drained soil and returns year after year with increasingly impressive displays. Whether planted in sweeping drifts, mixed cottage-style borders or dedicated cut flower gardens, this beautiful echinacea delivers outstanding colour, structure and weeks of garden performance.
