Rudbeckia Hirta - Marmalade

Rudbeckia Hirta – Marmalade. Commonly known as the Black-Eyed Susan, is a short-lived perennial that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It blooms from early summer to early fall with showy, golden orange, daisy-like, 5 inch wide flowers that have a dark brown eye. It will grow in low, upright clumps up to 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide. These flowers prefer full sun in moist, well-draining soils, will grow between 12 – 24 inches tall, and are also drought tolerant.  They will attract pollinators to your gardens such as butterflies, bees, and birds, while being resistant to deer and rabbits.  Perfect for beds and borders, they also make great cut flowers and can be used in dried floral arrangements. A great landscape flower in mass plantings, too! These flowers will self-seed, are easy to grow, and are low maintenance, so, these would be the perfect flowers for the beginning, busy gardener! Don’t miss out on this flower seed find, they will bring you blooms that will add a nice pop of color to any garden!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!

SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!

ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.

DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.

Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
