Black-eyed Susan Autumn Colors

Orange / Focal

‘Autumn Colors’ is a warm-toned Rudbeckia hirta cultivar for growers who want easy summer-to-autumn colour with a strong seasonal story. It is not the longest-stemmed rudbeckia, but it gives excellent visual value in farm bouquets because every bunch can include gold, orange, bronze, mahogany, and bicolour faces. Grow it from plugs for reliability, give it sun and airflow, harvest promptly at mature open stage, and sell it fresh through local channels.

Black-eyed Susan Becky Mix

Yellow / Focal

‘Becky Mix’ is a compact, large-flowered black-eyed Susan for growers who want cheerful warm color rather than maximum stem length. It produces bright yellow, orange, cinnamon, bronze, and bronzy-red daisy flowers with dark cones, bringing a strong late-summer and autumn feeling to bouquets. Plan it as a seed-grown annual cut flower for local markets, subscriptions, and rustic event work. Start early, grow in full sun, avoid overfeeding, harvest when flowers are opening rather than tight buds, and sell it fresh where its warm, pollinator-friendly look is part of the story.

Black-eyed Susan Cappuccino

Gold / Focal

‘Cappuccino’ is a warm, coffee-toned black-eyed Susan with large bronze, burnt-orange, gold and mahogany daisy flowers around a dark chocolate cone. It gives flower farms a more modern and autumn-friendly Rudbeckia option than plain yellow forms, while still offering the toughness, pollinator appeal, and direct-market familiarity of black-eyed Susan. It is best planned as a local summer-to-autumn cut flower for mixed bouquets, subscriptions, farm stands and rustic event work, with dried cone value after the fresh petals are finished.

Black-eyed Susan Cherry Brandy

Red / Focal

‘Cherry Brandy’ is a red-wine Rudbeckia hirta grown from seed for summer and autumn cut flowers. It gives growers the familiar black-eyed Susan shape with a much richer cherry, burgundy and mahogany palette than standard yellow forms. It is best planned as an annual, started in plugs for uniformity, planted in full sun with airflow, and harvested open rather than in tight bud. Its main caution is that compact height, wet-weather petal marking and cold-storage dulling can reduce premium grade, so the first planting should be treated as a colour and stem-length trial before scaling up.

Black-eyed Susan Chim Chiminee

Yellow / Focal

‘Chim Chiminee’ is a distinctive black-eyed Susan for growers who want something more textured and memorable than a standard yellow daisy. It produces warm gold, bronze, orange, mahogany, and brown-toned blooms with narrow quilled or spidery petals around a dark cone. Plan it as a seed-grown summer-to-autumn cut flower, start early for good stems, harvest before blooms are over-open, and sell it where customers appreciate local, rustic, pollinator-friendly flowers.

Black-eyed Susan Denver Daisy

Yellow / Focal

‘Denver Daisy’ is a compact, high-impact black-eyed Susan with large golden-yellow flowers marked by a dramatic dark red-brown ring around the cone. It is not the longest-stemmed rudbeckia for wholesale bunches, but it is valuable for farm bouquets, container-friendly production, pollinator displays, and local summer/autumn arrangements where bold colour and recognisable seasonal character matter.

Black-eyed Susan Indian Summer

Yellow / Secondary focal

Very large golden-yellow black-eyed Susan flowers with dark centres for bold summer and autumn bouquets.

Black-eyed Susan Macau

Yellow / Focal

Tall spray Rudbeckia with miniature golden blooms and dark cones for sunny, meadow-style summer bouquets.

Black-eyed Susan Marmalade

Orange / Focal

‘Marmalade’ is a warm, golden-orange Black-eyed Susan grown mainly as a first-year flowering annual for summer and autumn cuts. It gives growers an easy, recognisable daisy form with a dark centre and strong seasonal personality. It is best used where cheerful colour, rustic texture, and local freshness matter more than formal perfection. The crop is generally straightforward, but saleable quality depends on clean foliage, firm stems, good airflow, and harvesting flowers when they are opening rather than too tight or rain-damaged.
