About Rudbeckia
Rudbeckia, commonly known as Coneflower or Black-Eyed Susan, is a cheerful and robust perennial that brings a splash of late summer and autumn colour to UK gardens. Its daisy-like flowers with prominent central cones are excellent for attracting pollinators and provide long-lasting displays. Many varieties are well-suited to the British climate, thriving in borders and cottage gardens.
Outdoor garden plant. Perennial. Typically flowers around Jul, Aug, Sep.
How to care for Rudbeckia
💧 Watering
Water regularly during dry spells, especially in their first year, to establish a strong root system. Established plants are reasonably drought tolerant but perform best with consistent moisture.
🌿 Feeding
Apply a balanced granular fertiliser in spring as new growth emerges. A liquid feed can be given in mid-summer for prolonged flowering.
