Product Description

Rudbeckia Autumn Forest is a gorgeous summer-flowering bloom that's easy to grow from seed. This tried and tested variety produces pollinator-attracting blooms in shades of dark yellow and chocolate brown. These two colours create an ombre effect on each petal, merging into each other seamlessly. Their daisy shape and tall height (2m) make it an exceptional plant to grow in the mid-border or in a large container.

Growing at a glance…

Sow indoors from February to April. Outdoors from April to June. Sow seeds indoors thinly, covering them thinly with soil. Allow to germinate somewhere warm, like a heated propagator or heated greenhouse. If they fail to germinate within 3-4 weeks, it's time to cold stratify. Move the seeds into the fridge and leave them in there for 4 weeks before returning them to the warmth. Transplant seedlings once they're large enough to handle and grow on outdoors after acclimatising for 1-2 weeks. Deadhead regularly to encourage new flower growth.
