Rudbeckia hirta ‘Toto Gold’ and ‘Toto Rustic’ (Black-eyed Susan, Gloriosa Daisy, Coneflower)

October has arrived and is beckoning us to fill our homes and gardens with the colors of autumn. Rudbeckia hirta ‘Toto Gold’ and ‘Toto Rustic’ are in full bloom and ready to do their part in the fall décor.

‘Toto Gold’ has charming golden-yellow flowers with chocolate brown centers, and ‘Toto Rustic’ has deep bronze-gold-brick red petals with deep brown centers.

They are perfect tucked in among pumpkins, Indian corn and gourds on a front porch or patio. Planted in a pot, they will brighten a kitchen table, and add a cheerful pop of color to an office desk. The flowers are large, reaching 3” across, and bloom profusely from early summer to late fall.

The ‘Toto’ series of Rudbeckia (pronounced rud-BEK-ee-uh) is a compact variety, growing only 12-14” tall and

10-12” wide. They grow best in full sun or a bright room. Plant in well-drained soil and provide regular irrigation.

We are currently growing the ‘Toto’ series of Rudbeckia in 4.5” pots and 6 pack Premium flats. Pick some up this week, while supplies last. As always, we invite to follow us on Instagram @clearwatercolornursery.
