Viettes Little Suzy Rudbeckia delivers a profusion of radiant, deep yellow flowers encompassing a dark brown disc. Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia is a power performer with a compact size. Oblong-shaped medium green leaves offer a nice backdrop to the colorful daisy-like flowers, which bloom continually from midsummer through fall. This perennial is perfectly at home in containers or planted in golden drifts in a mixed border, or naturalized in larger areas.
Extremely easy to grow and care for, Viettes Little Suzy Rudbeckia is a compact, clump-forming plant. This variety is disease resistant and drought tolerant, which adds to the no-fuss category. Create a stunning display when pairing this rudbeckia with late-summer-blooming, blue and purple asters and perennial geraniums. They have a high wildlife value, attracting birds, several types of butterflies, and beneficial insect pollinators. Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia is deer and rabbit resistant and grows in Hardiness Zones 4-8. Over time, it will reach 12-14 inches tall and up to 24 inches wide. The pretty yellow flowers are also long lasting in cut-flower arrangements.
Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia Care
Plant Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia in full or partial sun, although the best blooming occurs in full sun. Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia prefers moist, well-draining, organically rich soil, although they will become tolerant of drier conditions once established. Keep the soil consistently moist for the first year after planting to get them off to a good start.
You have the option of keeping the plant tidy throughout the growing season by deadheading spent flowers to extend and encourage blooming. In late fall, cut the entire plant to a few inches above the ground, or allow the last blooms to go to seed to feed the birds.
Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia Spacing
Plant Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia in drifts for outstanding swaths of golden-yellow color. It works well in native, rain, and pollinator gardens, cottage-style applications, in meadows, and other naturalized areas. If planting in large drifts, space plants 20 inches or more on center; mature established plants will eventually spread naturally.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
