Wintersown Rudbeckia

Here is my Rudbeckia "Indian Summer" I wintersowed these in Feb/05. They started blooming the end of July right thru to October.

Well, no doubt about it! Those are about the most robust rudbeckias I have seen!

Any other Wintersown flower pics to share?!

t,
I love Rudbeckia they are fantastic to wintersow. The first year that I did some I could not believe how fast they grew. So now I ws lots of different varieties. To me they brighten up different spots of my gardens. I need to download my digital camera this evening and then I should have some more pics. Will try and post some more in the next couple of days.

Last year I WSed 'Irish Eyes' ; this year I'm doing 'Toto'. I've got a bunch more different varieties; just wish I had the space to try them all at the same time!
