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.❤

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.

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! 🌻

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!

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💛

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.

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!

[bellarosa]

I just purchased a bunch of different rudbeckias. Thanks for sharing your love of them!!

Nice video. This year I grew Indian Summer, Cherry Brandy and Cappuccino. I think you would like Rudbeckia Cappuccino.

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.
