Distinguished by its abundant and long-lasting flowering (from July to frost), rudbeckia is irreplaceable in any corner of the garden: in flower beds, in the border, in groups against the background of the lawn. Large basket inflorescences can maintain an attractive appearance for a long period.
Used for cutting, for flower arrangements and dry bouquets.
Sowing: April in open ground or February-March for seedlings in a loose soil mixture containing turf soil, neutralized peat and coarse, clean sand in a ratio of 3:1:0.5. Coarse sand is poured at the bottom in a layer of 1-2 cm for drainage, above - an earth mixture, and sterile sand in a layer of 0.5 cm is poured on it. All this is pressed with a tamper and spilled with a pink solution of potassium permanganate. After a couple of hours, sowing is carried out on the surface of wet compost, covered with glass (or plastic film) and kept at a temperature of +18+20 °C for 5-7 days. Next, the crops are placed in the refrigerator (for about two to three weeks), regularly ventilated and moistened. Then the crops are again transferred to room conditions, placed closer to the light and kept at a very high temperature (+27+30 °C). The glass is not removed until the cotyledon leaves appear. When the seedlings grow up, they are picked and grown at a lower temperature (+12+14 °C). They are planted in a permanent place after the end of spring frosts.
Care: prefers sunny places with nutritious, well-cultivated soil. It responds well to fertilizing with a solution of complex mineral fertilizer. At the end of the season, the stems are cut off at the root.
Flowering: July – October (in the second year).
Ideal companions are various cereals, autumn asters, and salvia.
1 gram = 2500 seeds.
