Grow cornflower/rudbekia seeds

YOU CAN START sowing your cornflower and rudbeckia seeds now. They’re unfussy flowers, happy in the ground or large pots. Both need a sunny spot to grow at their best. Ordinary soil is fine and no extra fertiliser is needed, but keep them watered well. The cornflowers are hardy annuals, suitable for sowing in spring and autumn. The rudbeckias need a little more heat to germinate. We will keep you supplied with growing tips over the next few months.
