Rudbeckia marmalade, also known as Rudbeckia hirta ‘Marmalade’, is a stunning perennial flower that adds vibrant color to any garden or landscape. This particular variety of Rudbeckia grows to a height of about 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) tall. However, it’s important to note that the actual height can vary depending on growing conditions and individual plants.
In my personal experience, I have seen Rudbeckia marmalade plants reach heights closer to the upper end of this range when grown in ideal conditions. These conditions include full sun exposure, well-drained soil, and regular watering. When provided with these optimal growing conditions, Rudbeckia marmalade can thrive and reach its full potential in terms of height and overall growth.
It’s worth mentioning that Rudbeckia marmalade is just one variety of Rudbeckia, and there are many other species and cultivars within this genus. Each variety may have slightly different growth habits and heights. For example, Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Goldsturm’ is another popular variety that typically grows to a height of around 18-24 inches (45-60 cm).
When considering the height of Rudbeckia marmalade or any other Rudbeckia variety, it’s important to keep in mind that these plants may also produce tall flowering stalks. These stalks can extend beyond the overall height of the plant, adding even more vertical interest to the garden. These flowering stalks can range in height from a few inches to several feet, depending on the specific variety and growing conditions.
It’s also worth noting that Rudbeckia marmalade is a relatively compact variety compared to some other Rudbeckia species. For example, Rudbeckia laciniata, commonly known as the cutleaf coneflower, can reach heights of up to 6 feet (180 cm) or more under ideal conditions. So, when selecting Rudbeckia plants for your garden, it’s important to consider the specific variety and its growth habits to ensure it fits well within your desired space.
Rudbeckia marmalade typically grows to a height of about 24-36 inches (60-90 cm), but this can vary depending on growing conditions and individual plants. It’s a relatively compact variety compared to some other Rudbeckia species, but it still adds a beautiful burst of color and vertical interest to any garden or landscape.
