Planting Rudbeckia
Plant Rudbeckia in full sun in well-drained soil.
Add a light application of organic fertilizer to the planting hole.
Set plants 1 foot apart.
Place plants no deeper than they were when growing in containers.
Mulch around but not on top of plants with 3 inches of organic compost.
Water well until soil is completely moist.
Choosing Rudbeckia
Look for Rudbeckia at nurseries in spring and summer, and into fall in mild climates.
Buy Rudbeckia in 4-inch to 1-gallon pots.
Choose healthy-looking plants with signs of new growth in leaf and flower buds; in fall, plants should still have green leaves.
Caring for Rudbeckia
Cut off old flower stems at their base using bypass pruners; this will encourage more flowers.
Trim off old leaves in early spring using bypass pruners.
