Cherry Brandy Rudbeckia
Growing Cherry Brandy Rudbeckia
‘Cherry Brandy’ is a distinctive open-pollinated rudbeckia prized for its deep cherry-red blooms, dramatic color, and excellent garden versatility. One of the first seed-grown black-eyed Susans to offer this rich red coloring, its striking flowers create a bold display in beds and borders while also producing beautiful stems for cutting.
Surface sow ‘Cherry Brandy’ seeds and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Germination typically takes 7 to 14 days. This drought-tolerant variety performs especially well in sunny garden conditions once established.
Ready to bloom in about 112 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Cut stems for arrangements or leave the blooms in the garden where they can provide color and help attract butterflies and birds.
Rich, dramatic, and versatile, ‘Cherry Brandy’ is an excellent choice for ornamental beds, borders, cut flower gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
