Rudbeckia - Rose Gold Mix

Rudbeckia 'Rose Gold Mix'
Rudbeckia

Say hello to Rudbeckia—the hardy, heat-loving flower that thrives on minimal effort and delivers maximum beauty. A favorite for bouquets and a magnet for pollinators, these North American natives transform any garden into a wildlife haven.

This stunning mix started with Rudbeckia Caramel and Rudbeckia Sahara, and it’s still a work in progress (but oh, what a beauty it’s becoming!). We’ve carefully selected seeds from double-petaled blooms in dreamy rose, peach, and burgundy tones, while culling out most of the yellows. That said, you might still spot a few singles in yellow and orange hues.

How to Grow:

Harvesting/Vase Life:

Pick the flowers just as they start to bloom. Rudbeckia are known to turn the water dark and murky quickly, even when using floral preservatives. To prevent this, add a few drops of bleach to the water. They should last in a vase for 7 to 10 days.
