The gardens of Worcester have been increasing filled with Rudbeckia over recent years. This year, in the corner border, they have been used as the main plant, creating a warm glow of yellow, orange, bronze, mahogany red and gold.

With the soaring temperatures of July, the Rudbeckia have created a very warm display around the gardens, in particular, helping to turn up the heat, in an already sunny corner.
