Rudbeckia Caramel Mix
An early flowering rudbeckia with double and semi-double flowers. Caramel Mixed is a modern selection of pleasing rose, copper, and amber shades. Neatly uniform, fuzzy-leafed plants grow 20 in. tall. Plant in sunny mixed borders and garden beds for a long season of colour in the garden and as long-lasting cut flowers.
Before Planting: Begin Rudbeckia seeds six to eight weeks before the last frost or direct sow them into the garden two weeks before the last frost. Prior to transplanting outdoors, Rudbeckia need to be hardened off. To do so, move the seedlings to a sheltered outdoor place protected from the wind and sun for a week.
Planting: After hardening the Rudbeckia off, space the seedlings 12 inches apart in an area with full sun but be sure to transplant on an overcast day.
Watering: Rudbeckia does require water, especially in hot weather.
Fertilizer: Top dress the plants once they are grown with a well-rotted manure once a year.
Days to Maturity: Rudbeckia blooms summer through fall
Harvesting: Cut the flowers when they are fully open and place them in a vase.
Tips: To grow the best flowers, be sure to weed regularly and deter weeds by spreading mulch around the base of the plant. Mulch will also help to retain moisture.
