Rudbeckia hirta ‘Denver Daisy’
Gloriosa Daisy hybrids are short-lived perennials, sometimes treated as annuals. Often, these will survive a few winters or at least self-seed. This midsized strain produces large golden-yellow daisies, the black cone surrounded by a big mahogany-red eye—flowers for months on end on a compact, bushy plant.
It's an outstanding cut flower. Removing faded blossoms regularly will significantly increase the flowering time. Seed heads have good winter interest and can be used in dried arrangements. Fairly drought tolerant, once established. Excellent in mixed containers. Ernst Benary Seeds bred them to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Denver, CO.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
