Rudbeckia comes from North America, but it is also widely adopted in Europe. Rudbeckia is great for both formal and natural plantings.Among the available varieties, perennial forms, represented by glossy rudbeckia, nude rudbeckia and glossy rudbeckia, prevail.
Annual species are represented by the hairy rudbeckia. All forms look great, incl. In arrangements with gingerbreads, echinops, autumn asters and ornamental grasses.Due to their long flowering, rudbeckia help to fill the momentary void between summer and autumn blooming.

Glossy rudbeckia reaches a height of 80 to 100 cm and blooms from July to September. The yellow petals of the flower are gathered around a dark brown, raised eye. The 'Goldsturm' variety is highly recommendable. This species has wide leaves covered with fine hairs.In naked rudbeckia, the eye is green, the petals are finger-shaped, the flowers seem lighter.
