I am so amused by the appearance of the plant that to myself I call it by my code name "Chamomile-Mischievous".

How you can use rudbeckia in your garden

There are many options! Each grower will find the role of the rudbeckia in which the flower is best suited to the task. transforming the garden in a positive way.

There are varieties for connoisseurs of terry
  • The easiest option is to plant the rudbeckia in separate heaps. Despite its simplicity, such a monoclumba will not look boring. On the contrary!
  • A row of bright rudbeckia will be a wonderful decor for fences and walls of agricultural buildings.
  • The plant will no doubt color any prefab flower bed, giving it a mischievous look. It should only be taken into account that because of its unique "catchiness", given by nature and breeders, rudbeckia is able to outshine its neighbors. Comrade, it is better to plant rudbeckia next to neutral plants.
In my garden, rudbeckia just grows by the ephedra against the background of the lawn. I like!

For example, rudbeckia looks great with conifers, its sister - echinacea, ground cover plants. With the help of bright chamomile, you can mask the stems of a peony that has faded in early summer.

The delights of growing rudbeckia

Gold and crimson rudbeckia is the dream of flower growers who want to see an elegant plot without effort, comrades:

  • The plant can be sown seeds directly into the ground. Suitable weather in central Russia is set in mid-May. For those who wish to see flowering 2-3 weeks earlier, it is recommended to plant seedlings. But rudbeckia, sown directly into the ground, will decorate the garden in early July.
Sometimes rudbeckia petals fall in an unusual way from the center.

  • Landing does not require special soil preparation and dressing. Rudbeckia grows well without fertilization and seems to benefit from it. The only caveat is that before planting, you still need to weed and loosen the soil. But where without it?
  • Rudbeckia grows well in open areas under the sun. In the shade, of course, it also blooms, but not so abundantly. Due to the lack of sunlight, the bushes may seem sparse.
  • Another good news - rudbeckia does not need to be watered regularly. The plant is drought tolerant. But, if the hot and dry weather lasts for a long time, you will have to take pity and still collect a watering can.

I solemnly declare: rudbeckia is the maximum result with the minimum of effort. Bright, elegant, unpretentious. I sow every year!
