Description
Rudbeckia hirta
Beloved old-fashioned garden flower that blooms boisterously all summer.
Nothing says summer like Rudbeckia blooming bright when it’s blazing hot and everyone else is taking refuge in the shade. She’s such a low-fuss and easy garden companion—let some flowers go to seed to feed the birds and keep her popping up in unexpected places. In our strain, flowers range from pure yellow to yellow streaked with orange, red, or brown. Grows around 24-30” tall.
Seeds grown by Swift River Farm in Salmon, Idaho.
200 seeds.
Directions: Direct sow about 6 weeks before final frost and cover lightly with soil. Keep soil moist. Can also start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before final frost. Transplant container-grown plants outside after the last frost, when large enough to handle easily.
