Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Cherry Brandy' is a gloriosa daisy with luscious deep, velvet red to burgundy red flowers with a black central cone. Plants will bloom profusely all summer long into fall. Rudbeckia hirta are short-lived perennials usually lasting for a few years. We don't carry many of them but this cultivar is worth it. Plus it will usually self-seed and pop up here and there around the garden. Native to every Canadian province.
