Product Description
Rudbeckia hirta ‘Enchanted Romance’, part of the popular Enchanted Series, is a standout addition to any garden. Its semi-double daisy-like flowers evolve beautifully through the season — starting with warm orange tones and maturing into deep red hues that create a striking contrast against its green, bristly foliage.
Reaching just 50cm high and wide, this compact plant is ideal for mixed borders, patio pots, and cottage-style gardens. It flowers prolifically from mid-summer into autumn, providing rich seasonal interest when many other plants are fading. Although technically a biennial or short-lived perennial, it is often grown as an annual for its spectacular display.
‘Enchanted Romance’ thrives in loamy or clay soils and prefers a south- or west-facing aspect, making it suitable for a wide range of garden settings, including both exposed and sheltered sites. Its resilience and stunning visual appeal make it a rewarding choice for gardeners of all experience levels.
