Big, sunny, and gloriously cheerful, Rudbeckia hirta ‘Indian Summer’ produces enormous golden daisies with rich chocolate-brown centers. The single to semi-double flowers can span an astonishing 6–9 inches, floating above sturdy branching stems like personal-sized suns. Bees and butterflies adore them, and we find their unabashed late-summer happiness nearly impossible to resist.Plants grow about 3–4 feet tall, with enough presence for mixed borders, prairie-style plantings, cutting gardens, and big patio containers. The long stems make excellent cut flowers, while the warm gold is splendid with violet salvias, purple asters, airy grasses, bronze foliage, and dark dahlias. Although often grown as an annual, this black-eyed Susan may behave as a biennial or short-lived perennial and can self-sow.Give ‘Indian Summer’ full sun and average, well-drained soil. Regular water supports the largest flowers, though established plants tolerate some drought. Deadhead for continued bloom, or leave the final seedheads standing for goldfinches and handsome winter texture. Its coarse leaves and bold scale make this more than another yellow daisy—it is a full-throated garden event. Explore more warm-season color in our Annuals collection.
