| I just saw them show Rudbeckia "Tiger Eye" on Victory Garden. It looked tremendous.
Is this a perennial or is it an annual? In either event, if you have grown it, how has it performed for you and where is a good place to get it? Thanks. |

| Don't grow it. Never have, but when I Googled the name, the first few entries said it was an annual. Kevin |

| I saw it at my favorite garden center and it looks similar to black eye susans but is large flowers..I have the double sun-gold rudbeckia..that I rec'd the seeds in the Wintersowing swap one year and it has double layers of petals on top of each other and large brown eye..It has done so well and I would love to find some more like it. The Tiger's eye were smaller than the one I have. I definately will be saving the seeds from it. When it first started putting out buds, Bambi had a midnight snack and I thought I'd be doomed for flowers but it rebounded and it has lots of flowers and it has been a favorite perennial this year with the exception of my daylilies that I just planted Sept. 2011 that I rec'd at plant swap. Rudbeckia's will last a long time, and can tolerate drought conditions..easy to grow. |

| Tiger Eye is definitely an annual in zone 6. It is also an F1 hybrids, so seed collected from them will not be true. It is a PHENOMENAL Rudbeckia hirta |
