Looks lovely :)
That purple weed gets everywhere though! :-[
Purple weed indeed. How very dare you :o :o :o.
All ready for Sunday, Rudbekia flowering well, what is happening on Sunday, I have forgotten, old age.
I really don't like that verbena... it seeds everywhere... ::)

Is this a subtle reference to the cannabis thread.
Along with the thread 'Doing away with the grass' ;D
;D
The bees love it though and it is so easy to pull up if you don't like it
If you are wearing gloves... those square stems can give you a nasty cut... trust me.. ;D
What a wonderful show. Gnash... Gnash.... I have tried growing Rudbekia over a number of years without success. I am now going to just give up...
Jitterbug
Lovely. Rudbekias are one of my favorite late summer flowers. They are nice and bright and colourful and last for ages too.
The purple weed looks like verbena bonariensis. Wouldnt call it a weed. Used to have lots of it but lost most of it last winter.
Lovely! Planted two Rudbekias last year and both died, not sure what I did wrong (poss due to being planted in a shady spot)
Thanks Garden Assistant I have been trying to find out what that purple weed was for ages!
It's still a weed though...
I have some annula rudbekia.. "Cherry Brandy" in full flower.. I'll get a pic.. :)
A weed! How very dare you! :o. Verbena bonariensis is one of my favourite plants and it does look great with the rudbeckia.
They look fab, I'll be growing some next year!
Do they make good cut flowers Saddad? Do you grow from cuttings or seeds?
The verbena self seed... the Rudbekia was a bought plant... :)
I've just planted two small (non-flowered) rudbeckia Goldsturm. Do I need to cut them down to ground level for the winter?
I don't... :-\
I sowed some Rudbekia seeds last Spring-- ashamed to say they stayed in thier seed tray
looking sad and neglected, got to them in the end and now have 8 pots of plants, all
looking good.
They are still out in the elements, do I leave them there, or do I need to fleece at all,
-- they are in 4" pots,
With thanks,
Shouldn't need it... unless it gets really cold and there is a chance of the pots freezing solid while waterlogged... :-\
Many thanks saddad, will tuck them round a corner with an over hang, should be out
of the worst weather , and will watch the watering, ;)
