I bought a bunch of annual rudbckia seed this year and tossed it
around. The stuff I put in garden beds never really amounted to much,
but the stuff I put in patio pots did rather well. It had a high
germination rate, and if anything, I probably put too much in and it
took a while to thin itself out. I have to keep after the watering,
because they wilt when dry, and they didn't start flowering until
about August, but if the pots stay moist they now flower quite well,
even spilling out onto the patio.
