Growing instructions
Direct sow any time of year or start indoors in late winter or early spring, by pressing seeds into the surface of the soil, and keeping soil moist but not wet until seeds have germinated. Light aids in germination. Ideal germination temperature is around 70 degrees F.
Rudbeckias are hardy plants and compete fairly well with weeds once established, but they'll need cultivation when young. They are not fussy about soil but need reasonable drainage. Plant somewhere where their bursting-forth mid-summer joy can be fully appreciated. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong bloom time.
