One of the most unusual of the Rudbeckias, this amazing variety has quilled petals, each with a flared trumpet-like end. This gives an interesting spider-like look. A good plant for the autumn border where its architectural value can be appreciated. I fell in love with this when I first saw it! Height and spread 150cm x 90cm (5' x 3').
