The gorgeous 3-4 in. wide, soft cherry-red blooms of Cherry Brandy introduce a new flower color to rudbeckias. They produce numerous long, strong, blooming stems that are excellent for cutting. Compact, heat-tolerant plants grow to 20 in. tall. Pinching not required. May re-seed itself.

NOTES

Rudbeckia requires long days to initiate flowering and will continue to produce some smaller blooms into the fall but on shortened stems of reduced quality. Deadheading increases blooms during summer production.
