Rudbeckia Plants
Rudbeckia provides the sunniest flowers in the garden – that’s a fact! With their lustrous, golden yellow petals and large, cone shaped centres, they’re equally attractive to the bees, butterflies and human visitors to your garden. Also known as Black-Eyed Susans, these cheerful, compact perennials bloom in late summer and will carry on brightening your borders and pots well into autumn. Like all of our perennials, our rudbeckia plants have been grown in the picturesque Herefordshire Hills, meaning they’re already perfectly suited to British garden conditions.
Which rudbeckia?
Rudbeckias come in a wide assortment of shapes and sizes, with varieties ranging in height from a delightfully diminutive 25cm to a positively gargantuan eventual height of three metres. Rudbeckia varieties typically come with flowers in bright yellow, marmalade orange, or a dazzling combination of the two. All rudbeckia varieties offer amazing cut flowers, so don’t delay, get out the secateurs today!
Planting schemes and partners
With its beautiful daisy-shaped flowers and vibrant array of sunshine hues, rudbeckia makes a wonderful addition to cottage and prairie style garden schemes, as well as jam-packed herbaceous borders. Looking for the perfect partner in crime for your rudbeckia? Might we steer you towards the other claimant of the prestigious coneflower title, echinacea. Consider placing your rudbeckia alongside some ornamental grasses whilst you’re at it, and watch both flowers and foliage sway in gentle unison.
Growing tips
Firstly, you’ll want to plant your rudbeckia in a fully sunny position – they love the sun. Plant in soil that’s moist but well draining. Water your plant well as rudbeckias actively dislike dry soil. They don’t like waterlogged soil, either, though, so make sure to bear that in mind when watering. If you’re container growing a rudbeckia, then it will require more watering. Rudbeckia doesn’t generally need a lot of feeding, just apply a springtime manure/compost mulch once per year. So long as the ground isn’t frozen, you can plant your rudbeckia at any point during the year.
