How to grow
How to grow
Excellent pest and disease resistance
A generally trouble-free plant - that's what we like to hear!
Water well in summer
In hot, dry summer spells, it's important that you water your rudbeckia well. In especially dry conditions, watering several times per week might be necessary (keep an eye on your plant for signs of distress - such as wilting leaves - to know if it needs more watering). If you're growing your rudbeckia in a pot, then it will need to be more regularly watered than those grown in the ground.
Full sun to partial shade
This rudbeckia variety does best in full sun (with at least 6 hours per day being ideal) but will still grow well enough in a part shaded position.
Any moist, well-drained soil
This rudbeckia will typically grow well in everyday garden soil, provided that it doesn't drain too freely. The addition of compost or some mulch can help your soil retain more moisture.
No feeding required
So long as your soil is somewhat fertile, a yearly mulch of organic matter in the spring is all that's needed to keep your rudbeckia plant nice and happy.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
