About This Variety
Meet This Variety
For a planting project built around suitable site conditions, Use Rudbeckia (Rudbeckia hirta) in garden borders and beds as an annual garden plant. Prepare a place with full sun, fertile, well-drained soil, and room for normal growth.
For the first stage of planting, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Keep the soil evenly moist while seedlings establish, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy, with a simple routine focused on a prepared planting area after sowing.
Grow Rudbeckia from seed for borders & beds.
