Chim Chiminee Rudbeckia
Perennial
80 days to bloom
Rudbeckia hirta
NATIVE We love these raucously radiant, unapologetically autumnal blooms! Chim Chiminee thrives even in poor soil and drought, prolific in gardens as well as raised beds and containers. With long, strong stems perfect for cutting, each 3-foot plant blossoms mid-July reaching her peak by late August, remaining unrelentingly abundant well into autumn, especially if you harvest her flowers consistently.
A tenacious perennial, your rudbeckia will slowly expand her diameter and blossom all the more with each year, easy to divide when you’re ready to share her with friends! Harvest as blossoms open for optimum vase life; full sun grows the most abundant rudbeckia flowers.

Listed as a tender perennial on other sites, I will be interested to see if this comes back next spring. Beautiful full plants with interesting narrow petals that open up as the flower matures into varying burned golden colors. We enjoyed these blooms in our first year of planting.
