Thank you Annette. Rudbeckia is one of my favourite flowers. I bought a lovely one last year from the garden centre, it had a dark sort of Maroon centre and flowered for weeks and weeks. I managed to get it through the winter with a plastic dome over the over top took the lid off today for an hour. Nice green shoots coming through. Got the seed and going to have a go myself this year.
Hi Penelope, that's such a good idea to protect it. Good luck with your seeds too.
I live in maryland and its the state flower. I have only ever called them black eyed Susan's. They well self sow. I plant them in pot outfront of my house.
Thanks Binky. Sounds wonderfully cheerful!
My black-eyed daisies (goldsturm) return faithfully every spring and some self-sow in my zone 5b garden.
Hi Bonny, that's such good news that they're so robust. Your garden really sounds wonderful.🌸
Your selections are stunning!!!
Oh thank you, Teresa 😁
Such happy plants. They definitely brighten the garden up💐
Yes they do 🌞 mI can't wait for a little summer sunshine.
great video just sowed mine today. please if possiable i would love to see a update on these seeds. to see how they went. thank you for sharing happy growing x
Hi Alesha, Thank you. I've had great germination on all of them, except Sahara, which I am still waiting on. they are so tiny, I hope they grow quickly! I will definitely do an update in a few weeks. 🌱
Hi Annette, if the 3 seeds germinate would you thin to one per cell? Or divide the 3 when you pot up? Or leave them as 3 plants close to each other? Thanks a million
Hi there, I'd definitely either thin to just one per cell or prick them out and repot all of them into separate cells - it would depend whether I need the extras. But they won't grow well if left in one cell together - they will be smaller and grow slower. Hope this helps.
Green centre rudbeckia isn’t unusual. I have a tall rudbeckia laciniata it’s green centre and they are long lived perennials but they are tall up to 10 feet.
Wow - that sounds enormous!!! I've not heard of that one but I'll keep my eye out for some; they sound fabulous, thank you.
@@cottoverdi They’re beautiful and tall.
Will they benefit from being pinched? 🙏😊
Hi there, it's not necessary to pink Rudbeckia - they will branch and bush-out all on their own. 💚
@@cottoverdi Thank you, this is my first time with Rudbeckia (Prairie Sun) 😍
No problem. How're they doing?
@@cottoverdi Thank you for asking 😃 I had to chuck the first batch because of fungus gnats everywhere. Next batch is a bit slow, but I learned my lesson in not overwatering from the top 😬 PS. My phlox won't germinate. I have them in the dark bathroom (no windows) and with a heated floor. Not sure what I am doing wrong 🤔 I covered with fine clean sand instead of vermiculite, because it turned green and fungus gnatty. Could the sand be the issue, if I may ask your advice? 🙏
I've never tried sand but it's probably a bit too heavy for tiny seedlings to push through - vermiculite is much lighter. Rudbeckia is VERY slow growing - I think that's why it's best to start early, even though it's heat loving.
For 3 years now, I haven been able to get any germinate from seed, ugh! I finally purchased healthy plants from a reputable nursery and planted them. They didn't last long and never came back. Help please
I'm so sorry to hear this. They are sun-loving plants so try to put them in the sunniest spot in your garden and make sure the soil around them doesn't dry out too much during the growing and flowering season - use a good layer of mulch around them to help with this. They really should be low maintenance plants - do have another go.
That's confusing. The only Black-eyed Susan I've ever known is Thunbergia. My mum used to grow a lot of them. They're nothing like Rudbeckia.
Hi Kathy, Yes, I know which plants you're referring to - they're nothing like rudbeckia - but rudbeckia are also, confusingly, sometimes called black-eyed Susan. I prefer to call them rudbeckia but I wanted to be inclusive for others who know them my another name.
