Protected Series: BLOOMIN EASY
Zone: 7BLOOMIN EASY® SOLAR SISTERS™ BLACKEYED SUSAN
Rudbeckia hirta Solar Sisters™ is a show-stopping introduction from the Bloomin' Easy® series, specifically selected for its unique, color-shifting double blooms. These dahlia-like flowers emerge in a vibrant, sunny yellow and gradually deepen into warm tones of orange and rich copper as the nights begin to cool. It is exceptionally floriferous, producing a continuous supply of fully double blossoms from early summer all the way through the first hard frost. Reaching a mature height of 18 to 24 inches with a tidy, clumping habit, Solar Sisters™ provides significant architectural interest and texture that stands out in mass plantings or as a focal point in premium mixed containers.
For the best garden performance, Solar Sisters™ should be planted in full sun to ensure strong, upright stems and the most intense color development in the petals. It thrives in well-drained, average-to-fertile soil and is remarkably tolerant of heat and humidity, making it a reliable performer during the peak of summer. While it is drought-tolerant once established, providing consistent moisture, especially in well-drained or sandy soils, will maximize its bloom size and frequency. To maintain a clean appearance and encourage reblooming, deadhead the spent flowers regularly.
