Can anyone tell me what this yellow flower is please? It looks to me like a Rudbeckia variant but the only similar one I can find - Rustic Dwarfs mixed - is listed as taller and not flowering until August.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think...

There is a variety called "Early Bird Gold", grows to about 50-60 cms, may be that one?
I'll check that one out Nutcracker but still seems perhaps taller than these which are around 30cms. Usually the National Trust is good at labelling everything to help numpties like me!!
Could they be dwarf sunflowers?
It may well not have finished growing yet!
But we can only make guesses - why not contact the Nat Trust and ask? There is an email address on the website

They look like rudbeckia to me, there are loads of cultivars and height and timing given is only a rough guide.

I think they're bedding dahlias. The foliage is exactly the same as the red ones in my garden. I don't know about the actual variety though.
Thanks everyone. I'm going back to Cliveden tomorrow so I may find a gardener to ask, otherwise I'll email them.
Don' forget to let us know

Are the leaves coarse and hairy? If so then Rudbeckia - if not reckon dahlia?
I'm pretty sure they are annual rudbeckias. Maybe Toto. They probably bring them on in large pots in a greenhouse to get large plants.
I have prairie sun which is starting to flower now.
