Rudbeckia Saffron Cut Flower Seeds |
|
Rudbeckia's have grown in popularity over the past few years due to the influences of the Prairie style plantings of Piet Oudolf and Tom Stuart-Smith. The style of swathes of the plant is no more evident than at Trentham Gardens or beautiful Wisley.
Rudbeckia Saffron is 80cm tall, with chunky foliage which lends itself well to 'cut flowers.' It is of daisy like appearance with yellow long thin petals with a lime centre which mixes well with 'Molucella laevis' in a vase. Very attractive to insects especially butterflies and flowers for a long period.
Approx 20 seeds per pack.
