When to Sow Marmalade Rudbeckia Seeds

February to April

Where to Sow

Sow the seeds on the surface of good, free-draining seed compost in pots or trays. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or a warm place at a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F) until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.

What to do Next

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12") apart.

Flowers

July to August

Handy Tip

Earlier flowers can be obtained by sowing in February under glass at 16°C
