The Rudbeckia ‘Cherry Brandy’ is a stunning red variety that will compliment any garden border. The plants are robust and reliable and will produce prolific cherry coloured blooms all the summer long. They will survive poor soils, hot dry summers and are just as happy in large containers as in the borders. Plant in drifts for maximum effect. Sow seed on the surface of good, free-draining, seed compost. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place container in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler con-ditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.
