Park Seed Grow Your Own Cappuccino Rudbeckia Flower Plant, Pack of 500

It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.

• Variety Selection: Choose from various Rudbeckia species, such as Rudbeckia hirta (Black-eyed Susan) or Rudbeckia fulgida (Orange Coneflower), to add bright, daisy-like blooms to your garden.
• Planting Time: Plant Rudbeckia in the spring or early summer when the soil has warmed and there's plenty of sunlight. They can tolerate partial shade but thrive in full sun.
• Soil and Drainage: Rudbeckia prefers well-draining soil with good organic content. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Spacing and Depth: Space Rudbeckia plants about 12 to 24 inches apart, depending on the variety. Plant seeds or transplants at the same depth they were in their containers.
• Maintenance: Water Rudbeckia regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming, and divide mature plants every few years to keep them healthy.
