Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Annual rudbeckias are fantastic for massing in beds, borders and patio containers where their vibrant blooms compliment any hot colour theme. The sumptuous cherry red blooms and buttery golden blooms of this Rudbeckia Collection are borne on robust, well-branched plants and appear continuously from July to October, making them excellent for late season interest. Dot annual rudbeckia plants between perennials and shrubs or group them together in bold blocks as bedding plants. Supplied as plug plants.

Collection comprises:
Rudbeckia hirta 'Cherry Brandy' - The world's first red rudbeckia. Sumptuous cherry red flowers up to 10cm (4") across are borne on robust plants all summer long and are superb for cutting. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 35cm (14").
Rudbeckia hirta 'Banana Smoothie' - This delightful dwarf rudbeckia bears buttery golden blooms with chocolate-brown centres which are attractive to bees. A neat and compact habit makes them ideal for patio pots. Height and spread: 30cm (12").

Pot up Rudbeckia plug plants and grow them on in frost free conditions. When plugs are fully rooted into their pots and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days and transplant into beds, borders and patio containers. Choose a position in sun or semi shade on heavy, well drained, fertile soil. Add some well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting. Firm the Coneflower plant into the ground and water well to settle the soil.

Feed and water rudbeckia plants regularly. Deadhead faded rudbeckia flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
