Rudbeckia Sunbeckia Carolina

Common Name: Black-Eyed Susan

Description:
Rudbeckia 'Sunbeckia Carolina' is a striking, long-blooming perennial known for its large, golden-yellow flowers with a deep brown central cone. This variety is bred for its exceptionally long flowering season, often blooming from late spring through to autumn. It thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring well-drained soil and a sunny position, though it can tolerate part shade. Highly drought-tolerant once established, it requires minimal maintenance and is resistant to most pests and diseases. Its compact, bushy habit makes it ideal for garden borders, mass plantings, and container displays. This variety is a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies while adding a burst of vibrant colour to any garden.
