Rudbeckia occidentalis – Black Beauty Western Coneflower
$16.99
Bring some mysterious fun to your garden with Black Beauty Western Coneflower, Rudbeckia occidentalis. The unusual dark maroon, cone-shaped flower heads are highlighted by tiny yellow florets that open from the bottom up. The flowers top tall, stiff 2-3′ stems in summer. The pollen-filled flowers attract butterflies, bees and other important pollinators, and add great interest to cut and dried bouquets.
Black Beauty creates mesmerizing gardens and containers. Unlike other Rudbeckia that like drier areas, Black Beauty Western Coneflower likes moist soil with consistent water.
Plant Black Beauty Western Coneflower Rudbeckia in full sun, at least 6 hours of sun a day. It prefers rich, moist soil. Add compost or other organic matter to soil when planting. Keep the plant well watered throughout the season.
