Rudbeckia hirta 'Cherry Brandy'

All the charm of a Black-Eyed Susan, with a dark and dramatic twist.

Who says Black-Eyed Susans have to be yellow? Cherry Brandy breaks the rules with gorgeous, deep cherry-red to rich maroon blooms surrounding dark chocolate centers. These striking 3–4" flowers bring a moody, sophisticated pop of color to bouquets, garden beds, and containers.

Compact, free-flowering plants produce an abundance of blooms throughout summer, making Cherry Brandy just as useful in the cutting garden as it is in the landscape. Pair it with golden rudbeckias for a bold contrast, mix it with soft pinks and peaches for an unexpected color combination, or plant it en masse for a sea of velvety red flowers.

Why we love it:

• Unforgettable Color: Rich cherry-red to burgundy petals with dark chocolate centers.

• Big, Bold Blooms: Showy 3–4" flowers that make a statement in bouquets and garden beds.

• Summer Workhorse: Prolific flowering throughout the summer season.

• Versatile Grower: Compact plants are perfect for garden borders, large containers, and cut flower production.

• Pollinator Friendly: Cheerful, open-centered blooms attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Growing Notes: Tender perennial in Zones 9–10, typically grown as an annual in colder climates. Also known as Black-Eyed Susan or Gloriosa Daisy.
