Rudbeckia 'Indian Summer'

After 20 plus years of growing and landscaping in the High Country of North Carolina I know many annuals will grow here. However, we've concentrated our efforts on those that do the best. Below is a short list of those we offer as transplants. In addition I've listed those we grow on the farm as cut flowers and a few more worthy of starting for yourself at home.

Cosmos

Cosmos is a classic cut flower and very easily grown. We usually offer a tall (4') variety and the shorter 'Sonata' with the New collection 'Dancing Petticoats' as transplants in the spring. With our shorter summers it's nice to jump start the season with a transplant.
