'City Garden' is a compact black-eyed Susan, similar to 'Goldsturm' with its prolific golden yellow flowers, sturdy upright habit, and midsummer to early fall long bloom time. However, 'City Garden' is about half the height and great for cut flowers.
Rudbeckias are easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils. For the most blooms, plants prefer full sun and consistent moisture, though established plants have some drought tolerance. Remove spent flowers to encourage additional bloom. Rudbeckias are very easy to divide in the spring.
Its petite stature makes this variety better suited than other Rudbeckias in containers, near the front of the border, and in sunny courtyard gardens. Attributes: Border plants, Container, Cut flower, Mass Planting, Easy to grow. Attracts butterflies and songbirds. |
