Seeds | Rudbeckia
This powerful pollinating plant can thrive in the driest, worst soils. Its large cone also produces large amounts of birdseed.
Packet contains 500 seeds. These seeds have been collected and cleaned from the previous generation grown in the Six Of Cups garden. This generation has not undergone germination testing, so they are being sold as a botanical sample.

Sowing Instructions
These seeds require a winter dormancy period, which can be achieved through cold stratification.
Indoor Stratification: 30 days before planting the seeds in soil, mix the seeds into a few handfuls of moistened sand (the sand should be moist, but not wet enough that water seeps out when you squeeze it). Place the mixture in a closed container (Ziploc sandwich bags work well for this), and store in the refrigerator for 30 days.
Once the 30 days have passed, transfer the mixture to the soil and/or containers where your seedlings will start. If there are sprouting seeds in the fridge before the 30 days, transfer those into the starter soil/containers sooner.
In the spring, once your seedlings have at least 3 true leaves, they can begin the hardening off and transplanting process.
Outdoor Stratification : In autumn, scatter seeds onto the surface of the soil to imitate the flower's abundant self-seeding. They will overwinter until spring.
