Rudbeckia - Rose Gold Mix

Rudbeckia 'Rose Gold Mix' Rudbeckia Say hello to Rudbeckia—the hardy, heat-loving flower that thrives on minimal effort and delivers maximum beauty. A favorite for bouquets and a magnet for pollinators, these North American natives transform any garden into a wildlife haven. This stunning mix started with Rudbeckia Caramel and Rudbeckia Sahara, and it’s still a work in progress (but oh, what a beauty it’s becoming!). We’ve carefully selected seeds from double-petaled blooms in dreamy rose, peach, and burgundy tones, while culling out most of the yellows. That said, you might still spot a few singles in yellow and orange hues. Details: Plant type: annual Height: 20-22” Site: full sun Days to maturity: 100-120 days Plant spacing: 12” Pinch: not necessary Approx seeds per packet: 50 How to Grow: Transplant (recommended): sow seeds 5-7 weeks before moving them outdoors. Cover them lightly. Direct seeding: gently press the seeds into the soil as soon as it is workable in early spring or fall. Germination: 7-10 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Where to plant: Plant in Sun/Part Shade Harvesting/Vase Life: Pick the flowers just as they start to bloom. Rudbeckia are known to turn the water dark and murky quickly, even when using floral preservatives. To prevent this, add a few drops of bleach to the water. They should last in a vase for 7 to 10 days.
