Don't know what variety you have....but whatever it is, keep the dead blooms cut off to keep it blooming as long as possible. But don's shear them...cut them all back there isn't time before frost for them to re grow. Don't let him do that. Is he a landscaper or just a guy with a mower, shears and a crew? There's a difference! Linda C

Hi JoAnn, Down at the bottom of the page there is a green bar with some links in it. Click on "Member Pages." On the page that comes up there will be a link called "Edit your exchange lists." That's where you can put your list of plants/seeds you have and those you want. :)

If you still have any I would love to have some! They are so very pretty!

What hostaholic2 and wieslaw59 write here is true. I checked my Bluestone catalog but their description of this new variety is written exactly as follows: Rudbeckia fulgida var. Fulgida There is no descriptive name for this plant as there are for most other plants. Gloriosa Daisies (also a Rudbeckia) have names such as Cappuccino, Cherokee Sunset, Indian Summer, etc., but not the Rudbeckia I'm interested in. I put a call into their help desk this morning and left a message asking for clarification as to the exact name of this flower. I'll post back when I hear from them. Meanwhile thanks for the reply Vivian 2010. I'm glad the foliage is smaller as it will expire less water here in Zone 7. Too bad about the flower size though. Maybe they'll work to increase it.
