Overview

A brand new rudbeckia with a much longer flowering season. A breakthrough in breeding has resulted in this wonderful plant, which will start to flower up to 2 months earlier than its parent R. Goldsturm. First discovered by a grower in Plaquemine, Louisiana, it made its debut throughout Europe in 2011. The most intriguing thing about this variant is that it is not dependent on the length of the day to induce flowering. Therefore it is possible for it to start flowering in early summer and not finish until mid to late autumn - an impressive feat we're sure you will agree!

Specifications

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: moderately fertile, preferably heavy but well-drained soil

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
