Photographed in my garden in August
2019 this variety of Rudbeckia Hirta is called ‘Marmalade’
with their large golden/yellow blooms they are loved by bees
and butterflies.
Rudbeckia
are excellent in flower borders and are wonderful in flower
arrangements. Also known as Black-Eyed Susan and Coneflower
they are late Summer flowering.
Rudbeckias
originate from North America and belong to the sunflower
family. Other names include, brown-eyed Susan, Brown Betty,
Gloriosa Daisy, Golden Jerusalem, English bull’s eye,
Poor-land Daisy, Yellow Daisy, and Yellow Ox-eye Daisy.
There are
lots of cultivated varieties available, some grown as short
lived annuals, Marmalade is classed as a Summer annual but
easy to grow from seeds that germinate quickly. They give a
stunning display grouped together in the Summer border. |
