Daisy - Gloriosa The Daisy Gloriosa Blend, 'Rudbeckia hirta 'Gloriosa', has huge 4 to 7 inch flowers. The Gloriosa Blend loves the heat and is drought tolerant. Grown as an annual, Gloriosa Daisy is technically a short-lived perennial and may come back for a second or third year. The large, wide yellow flowers have brown bands or stripes with a brown center. This Daisy blooms for 8 weeks beginning in mid summer. The Gloriosa will grow in almost any soil but it has a preference for rich, alkaline soils that are well drained.
