Rudbeckia triloba - 2026

Rudbeckia triloba is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial with deeply lobed green foliage and bright, golden-yellow daisy-like flowers with dark brown central cones. Blooming from midsummer into early autumn, it provides long-lasting colour and texture in borders, wildflower gardens, and naturalistic plantings. Its profuse flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, adding ecological value, while the plant’s upright, branching habit creates a striking display.

It thrives in full sun in fertile, moist but well-drained soil and is low to medium-maintenance, benefiting from occasional deadheading to prolong flowering. Non-native to the UK, it is valued for its reliable long-season blooms, vibrant colour, and suitability for mixed borders or naturalistic garden schemes.
