Description
Rudbeckia hirta
This mix of large, mostly double, velvety flowers is a blend of dusty rose, milk chocolate, copper, pale lemon and rich merlot. These abundant bloomers are a wonderful new addition to the Black-eyed Susan family, offering a romantic, moody twist on an old garden staple.

How to grow:
Start seed indoors in trays 8-10 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed.
Harvesting/vase life:
Harvest when flowers are beginning to open and a 7-10 day vase life can be expected. 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.
