An exceptional herbaceous perennial with excellent vigour, forming a well-branched plant that will fill a patio pot with ease.

How to care for Rudbeckia hirta Enchanted Embers:
Grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots for the patio.
Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
