Rudbeckia Sunbeckia Maya

Common Name: Black-Eyed Susan

Description:
Rudbeckia 'Sunbeckia Maya' is a striking, long-blooming perennial known for its dense, double-petaled golden-yellow flowers with a dark brown centre. This variety stands out with its unique, ruffled blooms that resemble pom-poms, adding rich texture and vibrant colour to garden beds and containers. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate part shade. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent low-care choice. 'Sunbeckia Maya' attracts bees and butterflies, bringing pollinators into the garden while providing a spectacular display from late spring through autumn. With strong stems, it is also ideal for cut flower arrangements.
