Seed Packet Reads:
 
Annual: Bright, uniquely patterned red and yellow flowers up to 10 cm (4") across with sharply pointed petals highlight this lovely Rudbeckia.
 
Sowing: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Press seed into the growing medium but do not cover. Keep at 21 C during the 14-21 day germination period. After germination, grow on at 15 C (60 F) then harden off and transplant outside to a sunny spot after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 30 cm (12") apart.
 
Comments: Makes a lovely, long lasting cut flower. Reliable carefree plants are right at home in the annual border.
