Rudbeckia Black Beauty | 25 pcs

Rudbeckia 'Black Beauty' stands as a truly distinctive addition to any garden landscape, captivating with its unique floral structure that defies conventional expectations. Unlike traditional coneflowers, this striking perennial showcases prominent chocolate-black central cones adorned with delicate yellow stamens, yet notably lacks the surrounding petals typical of its relatives. This minimalist appearance creates a bold visual statement in mixed borders, prairie-style plantings, and contemporary garden designs.

A Unique Ornamental Perennial

The Rudbeckia 'Black Beauty', also known as the Naked Coneflower, offers exceptional value to landscapers and garden designers:

• Striking dark maroon cone-shaped flower heads with tiny yellow florets that open from bottom to top
• Impressive height of 28-39 inches, creating vertical interest in garden designs
• Spreads 18-23 inches, providing substantial coverage without becoming invasive
• Attractive grey-green foliage that complements the dramatic flower heads
• Extended blooming period from mid-summer through early fall
• Excellent pollinator attraction, supporting local ecosystem health
• Versatile use in both fresh and dried floral arrangements

This architectural plant maintains its distinctive silhouette throughout the growing season, providing structural interest even after flowering has finished.

Planting and Growing Information

'Black Beauty' thrives in full sun positions with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant in spring after the last frost or in early fall, spacing plants approximately 24 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation. This adaptable perennial performs well in various soil types but prefers well-drained, consistently moist conditions. Hardy in USDA zones 3-10, it demonstrates excellent resilience across diverse climate conditions while requiring minimal maintenance beyond occasional deadheading.
