How to Grow and Care for Rudbeckia

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil but tolerates a wide range of soil types, including clay and sandy soils.
  • Watering: Water regularly during establishment; once established, Rudbeckia is highly drought-tolerant.
  • Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming, and leave seed heads in fall for winter interest and bird feeding. Cut back stems in early spring to encourage new growth.

Rudbeckia is a garden workhorse that combines show-stopping beauty with unbeatable resilience. Its golden blooms pair beautifully with other perennials like Echinacea, Sedum, and ornamental grasses, creating dynamic, pollinator-friendly displays.
