How to Sow Golden Star Rudbeckia Seeds
The striking appearance of this free flowering bushy variety ensures that it is a must have for any garden border. The outstretched petals, mirroring tones of sunshine yellow and rich gold, descend into a stroke of brown before forming the darkest brown centre; an eye catching addition when extending colour throughout the Summer border. Perfect for pollinators, the masses of flowers span to 4 inches with a height of approximately 75-90cm (30-36 in).
