Description
These miniature-sized flowers are borne in airy sprays, and when added to arrangements, they bring a happy, uplifting vision! Butterflies are attracted to the nectar and birds to the seeds. R. triloba pumps out hundreds of charming, warm yellow daisy flowers with brown button centres on tall, strongly branching plants. Blooming nonstop summer through fall, it adds sparkle to your garden beds and wildflower gardens.
Circa 1699! RHS Award of Garden Merit and Georgia Gold Medal winner! This biennial to short-lived perennial is native to the central and northeastern portions of the US.
Profuse blooms of adorable, 1 1/2–2 1/2″, bright yellow flowers with small, black/brown centres. Wiry, well-branched stems have few leaves, making this an excellent cut flower. Tolerates most conditions, including drought, once established. Short-lived perennial in Zones 3–9; typically flowers first year but may not bloom until second year if heavily crowded.
Leaves at the base of the plant are three-lobed, as indicated by the plant’s Latin name species: triloba.
SOWING: Transplant – Sow 5-7 weeks before last frost. Cover seed lightly (1/64″). For best results, prechill for 30 days: Place seedling flats outside or in the refrigerator and keep moist for 30 days. After chilling, move flats into a warm location until emergence. Direct seed – Gently press seed into soil as soon as soil can be worked in early spring or fall. Pinching not required. Reseeds.LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun/Part Shade.PLANT HEIGHT: 48-60″. PLANT SPACING: 18-24″. HARDINESS ZONES: Zones 3-9. Average soil. Drought tolerant once establishedVASE LIFE: 10-14 days. Newly opened flowers might wilt when first harvested but will rehydrate and correct. More mature blooms that have been open for a few days will be firmer at harvest. Harvest when flowers are beginning to open, and expect a vase life of 7-10 days. Rudbeckias are notorious for making their water murky. To combat this and extend their vase life, add a few drops of bleach to the water.Ht. 48–60″. DAYS TO GERMINATION: 7-10 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C) Days To Maturity 90 – 100 DaysPacket: 100 seeds.I am dedicated to creating a Canadian seed supply, I do not resell seed.
