A Compact Rudbeckia: ‘Cinnamon Bear’
June 10, 2011 
VIVA!’s ‘Cinnamon Bear’ rudbeckia is an easy-care, high impact dwarf plant that will stay compact with a maximum size of 8 to 10 inches both tall and wide. The rudbeckia will be covered with large 4- to 6-inch bicolor deep red and yellow blooms all summer and into fall.
‘Cinnamon Bear’ thrives in hot and dry climates and is drought tolerant once established, making this plant a great component for rock gardens. Full to part sun and well-drained soil are ideal conditions for this annual. ‘Cinnamon Bear’ is idea for wildflower beds, cutting gardens, containers and combination planters. It also attracts butterflies.
“I love how this plant has a short stature yet has mega flower power,” says Lisa Heredia, VIVA! program coordinator. “The blooms are huge with bicolor deep red and yellow petals, and they practically cover the foliage all summer long and into fall. Add in the easy care and drought tolerance, and any gardener is sure to be pleased with the performance of ‘Cinnamon Bear.'”
Bred by American Takii, ‘Cinnamon Bear’ can be found regionally at The Home Depot stores. Additional information can be found online at VivaGarden.com.
