Description
- Featuring all the hues and shades of a blazing country hearth, few plants warm the cockles of the heart quite like ‘Happy SmileyZ’
- Featuring brown, red and orange flowers borne on upright stems, this variety will provide long-lasting garden interest, blooming from the start of summer until mid-autumn
- Incredibly easy to grow and low maintenance, plant this rudbeckia alongside leucanthemums, echinaceas and achilleas as part of an attractive prairie-style planting scheme
- It also grows very well in a pot, so if you’re limited on space and only have a balcony or patio available, but you still want that injection of colour, then this variety will serve you well
- Looking for a top tip? Towards the end of summer, deadhead your rudbeckia’s spent flowers to encourage new blooms
- Looking to attract more wildlife to your garden? As one of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Plants for Pollinators, rudbeckias like this one are a great choice
