Rudbeckia Mega Millions®

So many flower buds and clean leaves all summer!

Growers and consumers will feel like they hit the jackpot with this new black-eyed susan from Saul Nurseries in Georgia. Mega Millions is a "best-in-class" Rudbeckia that is compact, has sturdy stems with hundreds of flowers, and has super clean, spot-resistant leaves. 

Golden-yellow daisy flowers cover the plant and nicely accent the deep olive-green leaves as summer temps are high and the days are long in late July and August. No staking needed, and no flopping stems on this compact 30" tall, long-lived perennial that takes and thrives in heat and humidity. 

 

There are lots of black-eyed susan selections to choose from, but believe us when we say this is the only one you need in your garden.
