Rudbeckia hirta

Rich colors of golden yellow to deep red are accented by the dark brown center of these 3-4” wide blooms. Flowers bloom mid-summer through fall and can be used to add height to your garden beds or be incorporated into floral arrangements. This plant attracts a variety of pollinators and repels deer. Plants are salt, heat, and drought tolerant and seeds freely sow.

Seed Count: approximately 50 seeds

Plant Height: 2-3’

Light Requirements: full sun

Soil Preference: moist, well-draining soil, tolerates poor soil, pH 6-7.5

USDA Zones: 2-8 (annual), 9-10 (tender perennial)

How to Grow

Germination: 7-14 days at 65-75F soil temperature

Seeding Depth: ¼-½” depth, darkness required for germination

Plant Spacing: 12”

Days to Maturity: 100-120

Early-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors 5-7 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Direct 2 weeks before the last frost date.

Late-Season Seeding: Start seeds indoors or direct seed outdoors at least 14 weeks before your first fall frost date.

Growing Tips: Pinching is not necessary to promote multiple stems. Deadheading increases bloom production later in the season.

Cut Flower: Flowers can be harvested when the petals are beginning to expand. Vase life will last 7-10 days if you add a few drops of bleach to the vase water. If drying, harvest when the flower is open and hang upside down in a dry place out of direct light for 2-3 weeks.
