Description

Gloriosa Daisy is a striking heirloom-style annual known for its bold, daisy-like blooms in warm, glowing shades of gold, bronze, and deep mahogany. Each flower features a prominent dark center, creating dramatic contrast and a sunlit, prairie-inspired look that stands out in garden beds and naturalized plantings.

With its upright growth and branching habit, Gloriosa Daisy produces an abundance of long-lasting blooms that are excellent for cutting. Its vibrant colors and rugged charm make it a favorite for pollinator gardens, wildflower mixes, and adding late-season interest to borders.

• Type: Annual (Rudbeckia hirta)
• Direct sow: After last frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks early
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 10–12 inches
• Height: 24–36 inches

Gloriosa Daisies are easy to grow and adaptable, thriving in well-drained soil and tolerating heat and drought once established. Keep soil evenly moist during germination, then water moderately as plants mature. Deadheading will encourage continued blooming, though leaving some spent flowers can allow for natural reseeding and extended seasonal interest.
