Outsidepride Annual Rudbeckia Seeds (Rudbeckia hirta) also known as black-eyed susan, come in vibrant varieties: Autumn Forest, Green Eyes, Marmalade, Sahara Mix, All Sorts Mix, Ruby Gold, and Moroccan Sun. As annuals, they suit the USDA 3-10 zones. Flourish in sunny locations. Bloom throughout summer and fall, reaching varied heights. These stunning flowers are available in 50, 100, 200, 5000, and 10000 seed counts.
Introduce a burst of color and texture to your garden with our diverse rudbeckia varieties! Each variety has a unique charm. Choose from Autumn Forest, Green Eyes, Marmalade, Sahara Mix, All Sorts Mix, Ruby Gold, and Moroccan Sun. Each unique color palette, shape, and size adds a special touch to any garden. These flowers are great for cutting as they have strong stems that are long enough to arrange nicely in the vase. They grow quickly and bloom heavily from flower seed sown the same year and are drought-tolerant plants.
Beyond its cheerful blooms, rudbeckia hirta is good at self-seeding. Some will require very little maintenance. These plant seeds will spread joy because of their beauty. Consider including these in your flower arrangements to add a touch of sunshine to any bouquet or display. With a variety of beautiful colors, these are great if you want to display beauty! A great way to have new and beautiful designs!
Sow 3-4 seeds directly outdoors in spring after the last frost, or start them indoors 6-8 weeks earlier for a head start. For indoor starting, maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination. This is a necessary process and will need attention. Press the seeds lightly into well-draining soil, as they require light to germinate. The right place is a location with sunlight. Water regularly until established.

Rudbeckia (Rudbeckia Hirta Ruby Gold) - Expect armloads of big bright blooms from this irrepressible duo of Black-eyed Susans! Unforgettable yellow and deep red with darker marks near the base make an unforgettable combination in the sunny garden or as a cut flower.  This long blooming rudbeckia will have you picking flowers from midsummer until frost season begins!

The flowers open in hot, sun-soaked conditions, and once this plant is established, it doesn't mind unseasonable levels of heat, humidity, rain, cold, or even drought. Poor soil is no problem, though best blooming will be in enriched garden soil with adequate water. This plant reaches about 20 to 24 inches high and nearly as wide, with good branching and healthy foliage. More compact than wild Rudbeckia, it is a magnet for butterflies and bees in the summer garden, and in autumn the songbirds feast on the seed-filled black centers of every bloom!

Ruby Gold is an annual or sometimes biennial growing best in USDA zones 5 through 8. It will bloom the first summer if the seeds are begun early indoors. Pick or deadhead the blooms for even faster rebloom over two long seasons of glory!
