Rudbeckia hirta 'Rustic Dwarf Mix'

Hard to beat Rudbeckia at this time of year 💛

Absolutely 💯 💛🧡🤎

Putting in a show 💛⭐️💛

Brrr! It’s chilly out here. I’ve still got flowers on some of the Rudbeckia. Lovely little flashes of colour in an otherwise ‘brown’ border 💛🧡

Rudbeckia still putting on a show 💛

Mine too, aren’t they fab!

Mine are long gone 😢

Hello hello hello what’s going on here then?

#mutation #mutant

I will pay you for the seeds of that particular flower head of that rud. I recommend you keep some and grown them next year to try and recreate it.

I love mutations like these, I'm actually in the process of creating a dawrf hollyhock, have been working on it for 2 years now. It's a very long process. Each year I subject it to stress and confinement I think it's about time thus year to get the seeds and start them off to see if what I've been doing is working. It'll taje me another 3 years before it's fully seccusful

One of mine grew a face, full on lush lashes and a smile, I’ll tag you in a pic 👍🏼😀

Money doesn’t change hands on GardenTags James. I’ll keep you some -here is my email soyou can send me your details to send them to. nicdrennan23@gmail.com @jamescallifer

Nature is just incredible! Almost looks like you’ve got a little cactus in the middle!🌵

So it is Angela @italydiva

Got the seeds in the door today @jendren thank you so much

Only today James! I was wondering if you had got them I could have walked there with them quicker 😃. Good luck with them. @jamescallifer

Yep only today literally at 12am hank you.

It's lovely 💛💛

I’m a convert to these!

Wow! Lovely photo Nicola

Me too, love them 🙂🌼

First rudbeckias sown in early Spring starting to flower. 💛

Beautiful rich colour

These are only some of the pots I filled this morning. And I thought I was cutting back on seed sowing this year 😂😱😂. Next problem -where in the house to put them?

That's the problem isn't it. Every windowsill is full!! 🙄😂😂

😂😂 you've reminded me I've got some of these to sow 😆

That’s my problem I have a house with no windowsills 🤷‍♀️

Today’s job. Pricking this lot out. Think I need a magnifying glass – they are tiny

That'll be fun 😱💖

Believe it or I quite enjoy pricking out Jane. Shows what a saddo I am 😂. But housework -that’s another story 😱 @pelly

I used to have a key ring that said ‘Boring women have immaculate homes ‘. Can’t imagine who bought me that! Only do housework when it’s desperate, I’m pricking out seedlings today too! @jendren @pelly

Tbh I enjoy it too, it's quite therapeutic 👍

😂😂😂 @joanboston

These are a lovely mix Nicola 😍
