I love rudbeckias. They’re such an underrated plant yet people are always wow’ed when they see them in bloom
I loveee your descriptions! “They’re just like BOOM and BOOM.”
Absolutely no wasted words in this video, while being very comprehensive.
I really loved this overview of the genus in depth like this. Really informative and engaging.
Thanks!
Beautiful!!! Here in South Africa rudbeckia is totally underutilized and not readily available. However I’m seeing more and more varieties making it to our nurseries. Extremely rewarding plants! Thanks for a great information video.
Thanks for the video! Rudbeckia Lacininiata Herbstonne is my favorite flower in my garden this season. I bought it at a local garden club sale last year and thought it's going to be an ordinary looking Rudbeckia. To my surprise this year it's almost 7ft tall and about 4ft wide. Flower stalks are strong and easily support the flowers. I'm absolutely in love with it and highly recommend it if you can find it!
“Things you need to know about this plant, virtually nothing, just plant it” 😂🥳
Great video. You have a soothing voice:)
Thanks for this overview. I'm a new homeowner and lately been obsessed with native plants (in the northeast where I'm from) and Rudbeckias are where it's at right now. I purchased 2 Rudbeckia maximas and they're just great fun. I've also pulled some trilobas from the side of the road. Looking forward to hearing your gardening ideas.
I just purchased a bunch of different rudbeckias. Thanks for sharing your love of them!!
Love this overview! Just found your channel, I love it! :)
Really enjoyed this
Great video, thank you for sharing this with us. I just have the wild black eyed Susan's, I have never planted any seeds. They just found their way into my flower garden's, they grow wild out in our field behind our house.i absolutely love them.❤
I learned so much! Thanks so much for sharing😊
Just discovered your show today ....got a new variety today from my local Walmart today☺️. I grow the goldstrum ones... I had a few Denver daisies and evidently they cross-pollinated because the plants did not come out the same as year before ... Thank you again for all your knowledge that you shared💛
It’s funny how form has become format! I just planted rudbeckia fulgida and have had hirta. I didn’t know they are members of the sunflower family. Thank you for a wonderful informative vid!
You are super interesting! I look forward to growing more in my garden.
My husband really wanted us to plant rudbeckias but I kept saying no as yellow wasn’t the color I wanted in my color theme 😅 He won me over and I bought him a couple plants and after seeing these- I want to plant the giant, tall one! 🌻
Great info. ❤❤
That variegated monstera though …. 😍
Never grown it but would love to ❤
Nice video. This year I grew Indian Summer, Cherry Brandy and Cappuccino. I think you would like Rudbeckia Cappuccino.
Going to look it up! Thx for the recommendation
I would love a list in the notes of all the varieties so it makes shopping on etsy easier lol. I am really looking forward to trying some of these.
Hi thank you very much it was really informative. I have a question I bought some Rudbeckia from a seed grower in Poland the seeds are up 2" and the have a Maple shaped leaf is there a variety of Rudbeckia with a maple shaped leaf please Bernie from Ireland I grow four different types . Thanks again the video was Brilliant Bernie
I’ve always wanted to name my cat Luna (the name definitely suit black and white cat bc they look like a moon). Anyways, its always refreshing to watch your video 💙
It's really interesting that these flowers are native to North America and some varieties have fully German names.
Herbsts Sonne /heabsts zone/ means autumn sun and Goldsturm /golt stuaγm/ means Goldstorm.
I'm not a huge fan of their structure. The cone is off and the petals lack density.
I would probably grow some, though, just for the sake of the pollinators.
We give and they give us back.
I planted a plug of Rudbeckia occidentalis (a west coast native variation with no ray flowers) this year and it was completely eaten. Like down to little nubbins, by either slugs or possibly rodents (not sure). I have heard people say that they need protection from rabbits as well for people who have those.
I have a fulgida var. Palastrus. It is so cute. Not sure how it differs from goldstrum, maybe it doesn't spread out as much. I wonder how many of these varieties naturally occur in nature?
Hi, I just saw your video for the first time and subscribed. I've been trying to decide between two large Rudbeckia's for behind some other plants. I have a lot of space to fill in so I was considering either Rudbeckia American Gold Rush Black Eyed Susan sold by Gilbert H. Wild & Son - it's supposed to get 22 to 26 in tall, with a 40 to 44 in. spread and Maximillian Sunflower (Helianthus maximilliani) sold by K. van Bourgondien, a perennial that is supposed to get between 4 to 7 feet high and covered with flowers from July through September. But the Maximillian Sunflower's flowers have yellow petals and a brown, not black center and a 24 to 48 in spread. Do you know anyone with any experience with either of these two plants?
I’m growing rudbeckia for the first time this season and I’m really looking forward to it. What are your thoughts on echinacea? It’s my absolute favorite flower and they’re often companions to rudbeckia.
Kent echinacea are WONDERFUL companions. I grow both and they’re both use as easy. Lovely plants.
If I buy a whole bunch of them in the springtime through seed and just put them in my flower garden will they come up in one season?
Irish Eyes , Cordoba, Goldilocks, Moreno , autumn colors and Gloriosa Daisy.Can you recommend which one is successful? Or mention the top five you raised?
I'm trying Rudbeckia Enchanted Forest this year, it is a lime green-ish one. :) Have you discovered other colours and varieties since? :)
I have one called ‘Gioriosa Daisy’ Autumn Colors/ Rudbeckia hirta. This is what the tag says it is. Any info on this. I’m having some death on half of the plant that produced large flowers and the other side of the plant has stunted flowers. It has not gotten very big but bigger than the first year 12”. It’s suppose to get 36-48” tall 18-24” wide.
Are your Indian Summers biannual or perennial? I live in a zone 5 environment. I bought some Rudbeckia Indian Summers this summer - wow, what big beautiful flowers they are. However, I have seen all three descriptions published on the internet - some places call then annuals, some call them bi-annuals and some places call them perennials. From your experience, how would you classify the Indian Summers? Just wondering if I can look forward to them again next year or if I have to buy new plants? I got mine too late in the summer and I think the winter frost has killed the flowers before the seeds could develop. They were still in their full blooming stage when the frosts hit. Thanks.
Are all of the rudbeckia Hirta variants biennials? My understanding is the Fulgida are perennials?
I Love Rudbeckias. I Wintersow them. Are they perennials for you? A lot of mine don't come back. I have to plant every year.
Goldsturm, maxima, indian summer, and probably a few others are perennial for me, but the general Rudbeckia hirta is not. It usually self seeds generously though!
I am thinking that Rudbeckia fulgida (Goldstrum) is one species that deer will eat? They especially seem to want to eat the buds just before they are ready to open. Can anyone confirm that?
When is the best time harvest rudbeckias? Sometimes they last forever and sometimes they die the next day harvesting.
My dog's name is Luna. :)
Is this any different than brown eyed Susans?? And can I use the root like echinacea??
Black or brown eyed are just common names used for the same plant, mostly Rudbeckia hirta. You can't use them like Echinacea as they don't have healing properties. Hope this helped :)
Hi! I'm trying to grow them here in pots in Calcutta, India. From my little experience, I found they (R. Hirta? fom seeds and cuttings) did not respond well to inorganic fertilisation. The initial growth was good in the compost and dung rich potting mix, after which it got sort of stunted and nothing inorganic/organic helped. After a couple of flowers, the 10" pot became root bound. What could be the correct method of fertilisation? I understand the climate here is radically different. They often get root rot during heavy showers in July-August. Not the easiest plant to grow here. I have seen it suffer from fungal diseases on the leaves at my workplace where I planted two seedlings, although they bloomed profusely in the soil. The success was greater on loamy, silty soil, not so much on clay, rather disappointing really. I have seen them shine in the flower shows here. In India, it is a winter - spring flower. Our summers are quite hot and humid although I've witnessed them blooming even then. I'm gonna try again in October I suppose. We're taking cuttings now.
What could be the best potting mix for my Rudbeckia? In our climate, they turn finicky. Certainly not a wildflower, they are my favorite!
What could be the best potting media for Rudbeckia? Suggestions please!
Inorganic fertilizer lacks the trace minerals needed and isn't ideal for biology. Start with an organic compost and slowly add/stir in an organic fertilizer as the soil gets depleted. Anything from food scraps, organic worm castings (the best), and ready made mixes from Espoma Organics, Dr Earth, and down to earth all work well for providing a balance of nutrients to your plants. = )
@@TheOneTheyCallDean Thanks but they keep on dying in Calcutta due to fungal issues. I've also planted them some 250 km north in a school and they're growing fine, even survived the heavy showers. They tend to bloom between April and mid July and stop at the onset of monsoon. Otherwise it's just vegetative growth all through the year. Anyway a geat plant! But not suitable for the climate here at my hometown.😣
Wow, I had no idea there were that many varieties of rudbeckia. When I see them in a garden, their cheery yellow blossoms scream "summer." That Cherry Brandy is stunning. When you mentioned seeding in the fall, does that help it become a stronger plant in the spring? I've never seeded in the fall, therefore, I'm curious to know if that is a better time. And you should bring that lizard inside and film that interaction.
I often has small house lizards come in the house and the cats go nuts! Regarding seeding in the fall: the plants tend to become more robust with more blooms because they get a very strong headstart on the season. Rudbeckia will be fine if you seed in the spring, but they may not have as many blooms as the ones that you seed in the fall. That's been my experience so far. I seeded my poppies too late and they didn't have enough time to grow before the full force of the Texas heat/sun came and killed them :( Seeding earlier would have helped that. Rudbeckia won't mind the heat, but I just wanted to give you another example of the positives of fall seeding.
@@Baetanical I will certainly give that a try, thanks!
Is Rudbeckia Goldblitz toxic to dogs, & cat's? I love all Rudbeckia's, but I just recently purchased 2 Goldblitz.
Is the cat also called Black Eyed Susan? :-)
Herbstsonne is R. nitida, not lacinata, but I like the show a lot!
So how come I see these black eye Susan where I live and they come back every year, nurseries put it as a perennial
Rudbeckia Zahara is what cut flower growers grow
great looking flowers and presenter...just sayin'
yes I did just watch a 20min video on rudabekas
I think height would be an additional fact to add to your video.
