Growing Non-GMO Rudbeckia Goldsturm Flower Seeds
Goldsturm rudbeckia has a wildflower hardiness to it and can be sown directly just like a wildflower or, for container growth, begin seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the final frost. For direct broadcasting, blend rudbeckia seeds with sand to increase visibility and broadcast the mix over a 10-square foot area and evenly rake and lightly tamp. Goldsturm will reseed itself in optimal conditions. Sow 3-4 Goldsturm rudbeckia seeds 0.125 inch deep and 18-24 inches apart in Organically rich, consistently moist, and well-drained soil in full sun. Goldsturm tolerates some shade, but too much shade will decrease flowering and vigor. Cut back spent foliage and blooms after flowering to prolong life 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. Rudbeckias 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.
