Plant Features
The Irish Eyes Rudbeckia Plant is perfectly named and guaranteed to make you smile! The huge blossoms measure up to 5-inches across and are similar to an Aster with barely overlapping petals the brightest cheerful-yellow color. Also called Gloriosa Daisies or Black-Eyed Susans, the eyes on these beauties are bright lime green surrounded with a fringe of black, looking remarkably like eyelashes, that further serves to accentuate the green in her eyes! At maturity, Irish Eyes develops a soft pale orange-hued halo on her deeply textured petals. Truly wonderful!
