I love this perennial

Before you start wondering about it, no, I am not employed or paid by Bluestone Perennials. I AM, however, completely obsessed with a perennial that I bought from them this year. Rudbeckia hirta indian Summer started blooming at the beginning of the summer and hasn't stopped, come rain, come drought. These aren't your garden variety Black-eyed Susans. These babies are HUGE! They have plate-sized blooms that rock on and on and on. If you have ever wanted to add some golden goodness to your border, these beauties are a MUST. Visit Bluestone and buy them now for fall delivery. I think perennials are best planted in the fall anyway. Here's a look at mine:
