Growing Non-GMO Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy Flower Seeds

Unlike other varieties of rudbeckia that are broadcasted at the final frost like wildflowers, Cherry Brandy is best started indoors 8-10 weeks prior. Transplant to a larger container once two sets of true leaves appear and harden off to a sunny spot with staking for taller plants. Cherry Brandy will reseed itself in optimal conditions. Sow 3-4 Cherry Brandy rudbeckia seeds 0.125 inch deep and 18-24 inches apart in Organically rich, consistently moist, and well-drained soil in full sun. Cherry Brandy tolerates some shade, but too much shade will decrease flowering and vigor. Cut back spent foliage and blooms after flowering to prolong vitality into the fall.

Rudbeckia blooms throughout the first summer and will die back at the first frost but will come back next year. We recommend using a slow-release fertilizer or working organic compost into the soil each spring to boost growth. Rudbeckia’s do not require much fertilization. Cut back the flower stems throughout the season and cut the entire plant back at the end of the summer. Do not cut back foliage, only the flower stalks.
