Rudbeckia Summerina Orange 3ltr

How to grow rudbeckia



Liking full sun, and able to tolerate most soils if they are well-draining this perennial will be just as comfortable in a container or rock garden as it would be in a garden or bed. Water lightly to keep the soil slightly damn, however this plant will thrive from some underwatering.



What is a perennial plant?



Unlike annuals, which only live for one season, perennial plants are a long-term solution to colour in your garden that will come back year after year. Typically, a perennial will only bloom for one season of the year, however there are long-blooming perennials. If grown in the right conditions and treated well a perennial can live between three and five years. For a garden that has colour all round you should plant a mix of annuals and perennials that bloom in different seasons.
