Rudbeckia/Black-Eyed Susan – Cherry Brandy

Rudbeckia hirta ‘Cherry Brandy’ is a unique and long-blooming Black-Eyed Susan, featuring rich, deep cherry-red petals surrounding a dark chocolate-brown center. Blooming from summer to fall, this vibrant variety adds warm, bold color to borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings, while attracting bees and butterflies.

With a compact, upright habit, Cherry Brandy grows 18–24 inches tall, making it perfect for mixed beds, containers, and cutting gardens. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and easy to grow. A standout alternative to traditional yellow Rudbeckia, it brings rich jewel tones and long-lasting beauty to any sunny landscape.
