You will receive Rudbeckia 'Henry Eilers' as a high-quality, well-rooted seedling, which you can plant straight into the flower bed after unpacking. It will thrive best in an open location that offers plenty of direct sun. It needs a spot in full sun and well-drained loamy soil, but it can also handle heavier clay soil without any problems, provided it does not retain excess water. We recommend planting with a spacing of approximately 50 centimeters, which corresponds to three to five plants per square meter. This distance will ensure sufficient air circulation between the mature clumps. Although this is a species that is completely resistant to common diseases and pests, the airiness of the planting will support the overall vitality and firmness of the stems, which are over a meter tall, so they will not need any additional support.
Keep watering after planting regular until the seedling roots well. Later, this long-lived perennial is very low-maintenance. It can handle hot summers and, to some extent, drought, although occasional watering will benefit it during long periods without rain. Be rather careful with fertilizing. With an excess of nutrients, the clumps may not be stable and the stems could unnecessarily lodge. If you decide to grow the rudbeckia in a voluminous pot or a larger container on the terrace, provide it with a good drainage layer at the bottom and a more regular water supply. The substrate in containers dries out much faster than open soil in a flower bed. But the rule that moderate fertilizing brings more compact growth and richer flowering applies in containers too.
The plant blooms reliably from August to October, and bees and other pollinators will flock to it this whole time. Do not remove the faded dark centers from the plant in autumn. They create a beautiful winter effect, especially when covered by morning frost. For winter, it needs no cutting back or special frost protection. Its frost hardiness reaches down to minus twenty-eight degrees Celsius, so it will survive Central European winters completely without problems even without covering. Only in early spring, just before the new dark green leaves sprout, cut all the dry stems right above the ground. This will free up space for new growth and keep the plant in perfect condition for the next season.
