Rudbeckia 'Tiger SmileyZ'
- Tigers are among the fiercest animals, and holy-moly, these flowers are just as fierce! Plant this rudbeckia in your border and watch the sass-o-meter skyrocket to unprecedented new heights
- The flowers, which bloom from the start of summer until the middle of autumn, consist of a dark brown central cone, surrounded by maroon petals which transition to a bright yellow at their tips
- Rudbeckias are very easy to grow (and look after) and make a great plant to help get your kids involved in the garden
- Make this plant the sole star of the show by potting it up and featuring it on your patio, or plant multiple individual plants in drifts for a prairie-style planting scheme
- If increasing your garden's bee presence is important to you, then this plant is a great choice, having been certified by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators
