Rudbeckia hir Sonora

Description

Rudbeckia hirta ‘Sonora’, commonly known as Sonora Black-eyed Susan, is a striking perennial that features bright yellow flowers with a dark central cone. The flowers are larger than typical Black-eyed Susans, creating a bold display of color in the garden. ‘Sonora’ blooms from mid-summer to fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The plant grows 18 to 24 inches tall, with dark green foliage that complements the golden blooms. Sonora thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, is drought-tolerant once established, and requires little maintenance, making it a perfect addition to garden beds, borders, or containers for a splash of color throughout the growing season.
