Rudbeckia x ‘Sweet as Honey’ (Black-Eyed Susan) 1G

Introduced in 2021 from Brent Horvath of Intrinsic Perennial Gardens, this Rudbeckia hybrid fits nicely into smaller spaces. Topping out below 20” with numerous smaller narrow petaled blooms, that stand stick straight out of a mound of narrow lanceolate foliage, it’s ideal for planting along walkways and at the front of the border. Overall, the plant is both more tidy and airier looking than its larger flowered and leaved cousins.
