Rudbeckia Seeds

Rudbeckia is also famously known as Black-eyed Susan! With its sunny yellow petals and dark, chocolatey center, it’s a garden favorite that brings instant cheer. Whether you call it Rudbeckia or Black-eyed Susan, this bloomer is all about bold color and pollinator-friendly vibes. Brighten up your garden — one daisy-like bloom at a time!

Rudbeckia grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. It loves open, sunny spots where it can sunbathe for at least 6–8 hours daily. Give it space to spread and it’ll thrive in raised garden beds, borders, or wildflower patches. It’s low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and blooms like a champ — a true sunshine-lover in the garden!

Rudbeckia seeds usually take 90 to 100 days to go from sprout to bloom, so a little patience goes a long way! How soon do they germinate? Wait for just 14-21 days and you'll see them sprout wonderfully! Sow them in early spring, and by late summer, you’ll have a stunning show of golden, daisy-like flowers.

Plant Rudbeckia seeds in early spring after the last frost, or late summer for blooms next season. They love warmth and light to germinate, so sow them in a sunny spot. Just sprinkle, pat, and water lightly— no deep digging needed. Soon, you’ll be on your way to a garden full of golden glow!

If your Rudbeckia isn’t germinating, it might just be playing hard to sprout! Check for these common hiccups: soil that's too cold or soggy, seeds buried too deep, or not enough light (they need it to germinate!). Keep the soil warm, lightly moist, and give them sun — patience is key with these golden beauties!
