Plant Care

City Garden Rudbeckia is remarkably low-maintenance and disease-resistant. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and maintain plant vigor. In late fall, cut back stems to about 4 inches above ground level. While generally pest-resistant, occasional monitoring for aphids is recommended. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and abundant blooming.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stem. Water regularly for the first growing season to establish a deep root system.
