Attract pollinators and add a burst of sunshine to your garden with Rudbeckia. Learn how to plant and care for these beautiful, bee-friendly flowers.
Rudbeckia is a versatile plant that can be grown in a variety of locations, including full sun to partial shade.
The plant prefers well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral and can tolerate a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soil.
Rudbeckia can be grown from seed or purchased as a plant. If starting from seed, it should be planted in the spring or fall.
The seeds should be planted about ¼ inch deep and spaced about 6-12 inches apart. Once the seedlings are established, they can be thinned to one plant every 12-18 inches.
If purchasing a plant, it can be planted in the spring or fall as well. The hole should be dug to the same depth as the pot and twice as wide. Backfill with garden soil and water thoroughly.
