The Rudbeckia 'Gloriosa Daisy', derived from Rudbeckia x hirta, offers a beautiful golden yellow flower with a brown centre and an almost black heart, with elongated and trailing petals. Graceful, it blooms on a fairly tall plant throughout the summer until the first frost. This Rudbeckia makes a big impact in borders, flower beds, and flower pots. Indifferent to heat and poor soils, these short-lived perennial plants also flower well in sunny or semi-shaded locations.
Cultivars of Rudbeckia x hirta are derived, among others, from Rudbeckia hirta, a robust wild plant of the Asteraceae family, native to the prairies of North America. It is a short-lived perennial plant, most often cultivated annually or biennially. In fact, it will not last more than 2 to 3 years in the garden, but it self-seeds quite easily. Gloriosa Daisy, shorter than its ancestor, reaches a height of 80 cm (32in) and spreads about 50 cm (20in). The inflorescences of this Rudbeckia are large 'daisies', actually solitary head inflorescences, with a diameter of 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4in), centred on a prominent dark brown cone. Many flowers succeed each other from July to October on the plants, forming an impressive multicoloured mass. At the end of summer, the petals fade and fall, while the heart of the flowers dries up and becomes withered. The flowers can then be picked and incorporated into a dried bouquet. The foliage consists of a tuft of lanceolate, dentate, dark green basal leaves, 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4in) long, from which sturdy and ramified floral stems rise. The stems bear cauline leaves, which are narrower and rather ovate.
The Rudbeckia 'Gloriosa Daisy' thrives in perennial beds, borders, and large flower pots. It can be combined with other varieties or associated with inulas, asters, achilleas, daisies, and echinops. You can also lighten the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia and Muhlenbergia capillaris. Splendid in flower beds, its rich hues are also beautiful in fresh or dried flower bouquets. Hardy, Rudbeckia hirta likes sunny or semi-shaded locations, but is not picky about the soil; it is a particularly heat-resistant plant and tolerant of dry and poor soils.
An ecological asset: Throughout the summer, the nectar-rich flowers of rudbeckias attract pollinating insects and butterflies. A good way to improve your garden's ecosystem and promote fruit and vegetable production in your garden. In autumn, you can admire the incessant ballet of birds that come to feed on the mature seeds they find in the hearts of the dried flowers.

Botanical data
Before sowing the rudbeckia, place your seeds in the vegetable compartment of your refrigerator for 4 weeks. This will break the seed's dormancy and improve your sowing's success.
Sow the seeds from February to April in a seed tray. Use a good quality compost that you will sieve on the surface to bind the seed to its substrate. Before sowing, gently press down the compost with a board. Sow your seeds by broadcasting. Cover the seeds by sprinkling compost on top or using vermiculite, gently press down and water generously with a fine rain. Place your seed tray in a well-lit area, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F). Lower the temperature at night to 18°C (64.4°F) to create a beneficial alternation for germination.
The seeds will germinate in 10 to 21 days. When the seedlings are manageable, transplant them into 7cm (3in) pots. Keep the compost moist but not excessively during growth. Then, 15 days before their final planting, start gradually acclimating them to a temperature of 15°C (59°F).
By the end of May or early June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant your young plants. Choose a sunny location. Add a good shovel of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 30 cm (12in) apart.
Regularly remove faded flowers to maintain their beauty and promote repeat flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
