Cherry Brandy Rudbeckia

Love the flowers, but low yield

This is the second year I've grown cherry brandy from Pinetree, and I absolutely love the flowers, but end up with a very low yield. 2-4 plants out of the 20 seeds make it to adulthood, and many just don't sprout. (I also got Prairie Sun this year and almost all of them sprouted -- grown in the same conditions, and even the same tray). I still recommend these to you if you're drawn to the dark flowers... they're quite beautiful. But plant more seeds than you expect to want.

Didn't work for me

I planted these seeds twice, I did not have any luck with them. Not one sprouted for me. I have mixed them in the seeds I bought for wildflower garden.

germinated ok but planted too late the heat killed them
