Good Question

occidentalis 'Black Beauty': the flowers of this unusual Rudbeckia
take the form of large black cones ringed with tiny yellow petals. Each
sits in a cup of green bracts, set on a sturdy, upright stem.
Toothed-edged ovate-elliptic foliage. 50".

occidentalis 'Green Wizard': Very tall novelty plant with huge
black cones surrounded with a ring of tiny ray petals, very unusual and
excellent cut flower. 48".
