What is Rudbechia ‘Cherry Brandy’

Rudbeckia hirta ‘Cherry Brandy’ is a cultivar of the hardy perennial Rudbeckia hirta (scientific name: Rudbeckia hirta) from the Asteraceae family. This variety is highly resistant to heat (and cold), thriving in the height of the Japanese summer. It prefers full sun, tolerates heat and drought, and blooms continuously. The flowers are a rich dark red, reminiscent of the liqueur 'Cherry Brandy' made from American cherries, providing a sophisticated touch. It pairs well with brighter flowers to highlight their colors or can be used alone to create an elegant corner in the garden.
