I am so envious cherry brandy rudbeckia is an annual here so I am hoping to get a few blooms on mine that looks like some of the pictures I see here.

I purchased seeds for cherry brandy rudbeckia and well lol it isn't red it isn't even orange or brown. This plant I am growing the blooms look like r. hirta well sort of. Last year it was tiny but it still bloomed. This year it is tall and I have to say it is pretty. I know I never thought there was a plain yellow rudbeckia I liked but this fellar is growing on me and if it is a perennial I may just make room for it. Last year it bloomed and I don't have a hundred seedlings in my bed either.

Tom is this the first year yours bloomed??

Thank you everyone,I thought it was Autumn colors,I don't know.I've got some that are almost ready to bloom that I thought were the cherrybrandys..They all bloomed last year but the plants are alot bigger this year the one by the porch is 4ft tall and 4 ft wide and the little yellow birds are showing up and trying to make a meal of them,but I don't mind. When the others bloom and if they are different I will post a pic..I'm terrible with the flowers of knowing what I have,I spend most of the time with the vegetables but since coming on here I've got flowers everywhere.Here is a different view of it and another that is different from the rest.

Surprisingly my Cherry Brandy's survived the winter and also self seeded a bit. I considered giving them away last year as didn't care for the color, much like the first photo, too orange for me, but now I want to see their blooms this year and the blooms of the seedlings.

The plants were short last year and seem to be growing slowly this spring so don't expect them to be very tall.

I like those!! I am so curious what the reseeds look like!!
