Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

Indian Summer is a selection of gloriosa daisy with a pallet range of soft oranges to rusty browns. They typically grow 12 to 16 inches tall and wide. Blooms appear most of the summer months; deadheading will prolong the bloom. Though technically perennial, they seem to be shorter lived than other rudbeckia, and so are sometimes treated as annuals.
