Setup, Compatibility & Care

Sowing: Sow seeds on the surface of good, free-draining seed compost. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite.
Germination: Place the container in a propagator or seal it inside a polythene bag. Maintain a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F). Do not exclude light, as this helps germination, which usually takes 7-21 days.
Transplanting: When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots.
Acclimatization: Gradually acclimatize the plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting them outdoors.
Planting Out: Plant them out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.

Compatibility: Rudbeckia 'Cherry Brandy' is suitable for planting in garden borders and large containers. Ensure they are planted in an area that receives sun or semi-shade.
