Sowing Instructions:
Sow Rudbeckia Occidentalis Green Wizard seeds indoors from late winter to early spring, around 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Plant the seeds 1 cm deep in seed trays or pots filled with a light, well-draining compost. Keep the compost moist and maintain a temperature of 18-20°C to promote germination, which should occur in 7-14 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and the danger of frost has passed, harden them off before transplanting them outdoors to a sunny, well-drained site. Space the plants 30-45 cm apart to allow for full growth.

This perennial variety grows to a height of 60-90 cm, producing large, daisy-like flowers with green centres and yellow petal tips from mid-summer to autumn. The distinctive blooms make Rudbeckia Occidentalis Green Wizard a perfect addition to borders, mixed beds, or cottage gardens. It's also a fantastic cut flower, adding an unusual yet elegant touch to fresh floral arrangements. With its long-lasting blooms and ability to attract bees and butterflies, Green Wizard is a wonderful choice for gardeners looking to add something a little different to their plant collection.
