RUDBECKIA HIRTA
Vivid rusty autumn colours, from burnt oranges, through to golden yellows with a good dose of rich chocolate browns, and lots of bi-colours!
Technically Rudbeckia is quite a hardy annual, and you will get much larger plants the earlier you plant it (it will overwinter if planted early enough), but I hold off planting out until early spring as it's very autumnal colours aren't in demand until later in summer/early autumn.
