Black-eyed Susan seeds
All my B.E.S. flowers are starting to fade and I was wondering - if I scattered
the seeds in and around a vacant lot they would produce new plants there in the spring? Or should I bring the seeds inside, store for the winter and plant them in the spring? TIA |

Break the seeds up and sprinkle them out there. They multiply rather readily
from seed on their own.

Rudbeckia hirta has many cultivars. Most of them require a warm soil to
germinate. In my USDA Zone 8b, these are perennial. Since I don't know where you are located, I would say to germinate these and expecting the same plant may not be realistic. They may not come true from seed of YOUR production. Seed companies have very rigidly timed crops, which are pollinated at certain times, and it's all very scientific to come up with viable, reliable to the cultivar, seed. I would collect the seeds, hold them in a paper bag, mark the bag, give them about a month of refrigeration in your fridge and plant them in pots in early spring. Early spring in Texas is February. You may have other climate situations. Key thing is, Rudbeckia hirta, the mother of all Rudbeckia needs warm soil to germinate, and by warm I mean about 70-75 degrees F.

I live in Canada Zone 5 (different from U.S. zone 5). I have some rudbeki=
as, which are perennials. I do not know their name. Two years ago I ordered some Totos,= which were advertised at the time as perennials. In the 2003 catalogue, they were so= ld as annuals. They died in winter and did not come back this spring. Last winter I plan= ted seed in the house from 2 other types: Marmalade and Prairie Sun Rise. The Prairie= Sun Rise was advertised as a perennial. I wondered if I could spread the seeds of one type or two of rudbekia. Fr= om your answer, I will have to plant them in the house again next winter. But I m= ay still try to spread seeds since I would not lose anything by trying. Maybe one of t= hem is a perennial.

Black-eyed Susan seeds
someone gave me seeds (flower heads) last fall. I brought the seed heads
inside, kept them dry and tossed them out in mid-late April. They germinated and started blooming in August. I'm pretty sure they will be perennial here, but I'm not sure how long-lived. I'm in zone 5/6 "Françoise" wrote in message ... I live in Canada Zone 5 (different from U.S. zone 5). I have some rudbekias, which are perennials. I do not know their name.

That's what I'd do. The seeds outside will not germinate till the soil warms
up. That's all I meant. There should be plenty of seed on each plant. Victoria On Mon, 13 Oct 2003 00:34:32 -0400, Françoise opined: I live in Canada Zone 5 (different from U.S. zone 5).
