Wintersowed very well. I love the unusual petal style. I hope it reseeds itself like some of my others have. Height is great as it stands just above the phlox and tickseed. Looks great with the grey/green iris foliage.

I loved this plant, it remains to be seen if it overwinters here. The flowers are longlasting and there are a lot of them. This plant is my tallest rudbeckia and did need staking in a windier site. 2007 - overwintered fine and is growing great.
