Rudbeckia hirta 'Enchanted Forest' is full of lime-green coloured blooms with a chocolate brown centre. These zingy green petals gradually deepen in colour as the summer season progresses.
Attractive to a wide range of pollinating insects, these eye-catching herbaceous perennials are a great choice for a wildlife garden. Grow them in patio pots, or plant them en masse in beds and borders.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plants, but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

Plant out after the last frost, choosing a sunny position with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells in their first few weeks to help them establish, but avoid waterlogging. Apply a general-purpose fertiliser in early summer to encourage strong growth and flowering.
Deadhead faded blooms regularly to prolong the display, or leave some seed heads in late autumn for wildlife and self-seeding. Tall stems may need staking in exposed sites to prevent wind damage. Remove spent plants after flowering if you don’t want them to self-seed, or allow them to drop seed for future plants.
