Rudbeckia

Rudbeckias originate from North America; they are robust and abundantly blooming perennials of late summer and autumn. Suitable for prairie plantings with tall grasses and cottage gardens. The central disks look very effective after seeds mature and decorate perennial beds through the winter. Harvest for the vase as soon as they bloom. Vase life is 7–10 days. Dry central disks can also be used. Green Wizard is a peculiar rudbeckia striking for its unusual coloring and flower shape. The inflorescence has no developed true petals, only large green bracts with a raised brown center. An effective addition to bouquets.
