Rudbeckia hirta 'Marmalade'

4 individual pots of #rudbeckia #marmalade #rudbeckiamarmalade #coneflower mulched. #advice Will these be ok outside over the winter or should I keep them in greenhouse/shed? 27/10/19

I brought mine in last year as didn't want to lose them, will be interesting to know what others do 🤔🤔

@sieveheadsarah mine survived the outdoors last year Sarah...🌻

Mine are planted in a border so have been outside for three years but we are in Hampshire which doesn't get severe winters 🙂

I'll be brave and leave some out this winter then Elaine & Sue 😖 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @lilybee

Just double checked on my variety and it's Goldsturm which is very hardy - H6 on RHS website. The one you have Alison is H3 which looks to be much less hardy according to the RHS website. @bluefox23 @sieveheadsarah

I think I’ll leave mine out or maybe put one in greenhouse to compare!! @sieveheadsarah Thanks a lot @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @lilybee

@lilybee ooh right! Maybe I’ll do half and half as I have 4 pots!

Looking great! 💛

Thanks really pleased with them @kez001uk Although one pot (not in picture) has had several stems and leaves shrivel up and I don't know why! 🤷🏼‍♀️

@bluefox23 that happened to a few African daisies I grew but no idea why either 😂

Really liking these #rudbeckia #marmalade #rudbeckiamarmalade #coneflower flowers. Can’t wait till I’ve got lots open at once 😊 15/08/19

Thanks @gardengirlla 😊

My first #rudbeckia #marmalade #rudbeckiamarmalade #flower 🤗 11/08/19 #coneflower #grownfromseed

My #rudbeckia #marmalade #rudbeckiamarmalade are getting ready to flower. I can see the black cone developing! 03/08/19 #coneflower #grownfromseed

That's a work of art.

I can’t wait for it to open 😊 @novicegardenlover

#mondaymotivation I have #rudbeckia #marmalade flowers coming!! 🤗 29/07/19 #rudbeckiamarmalade #coneflower #grownfromseed

Record of where I’ve planted some of my #rudbeckia #marmalade seedlings. NB plastic cutlery to stop animals digging up the pots. 22/06/19 #rudbeckiamarmalade #coneflower #grownfromseed

Have you tried citrus spray or pepper?

I’ve tried pepper before. Since my neighbours cat died, I’ve only had a couple of cat 💩 from another cat in the garden but that was where I’d dig to create my new beds. So I thought I’d better be safe than sorry to protect these. @ublaszko

Ah yes, freshly dug ground is an invitation 😁 I wish people would train their cats to use a litterbox instead of neighbours' gardens (I wrote that while tearing up from wasabi peas 😂😂)

Recording progress; potted on. Run out of pots and space!! 20/05/19 #seedling #grownfromseed #rudbeckia #marmalade #rudbeckiamarmalade #coneflower
