Marmalade rudbeckia offers warm orange‑gold daisies with dark centers from midsummer into fall. As a North American native, it thrives in heat and poorer soils, feeding bees and butterflies when other blooms fade. Sturdy stems make it a reliable cut flower, and it’s content in borders, meadows, or veggie beds as a pollinator draw. Simple to grow, long on payoff—exactly what a late‑season garden needs.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 5-7 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Cover with soil very lightly as seeds require light to germinate. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 60-75 degrees. Transplant to the garden after your average last frost date. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Or, plant seeds directly in the garden 2 weeks prior to average last frost date. Rudbeckia self-sows readily. Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
