    I wouldn’t give up hope on your Rudbeckia just yet, @terri_stella. Mine are always very slow to get going. A couple of the older plants in full sun are showing but others with more shade are still to appear.

    You give me hope! I read they self seed (perhaps just in warmer climates?) and I did save some seed heads myself but looks like hard work to scarify them!

    There are many species of Rudbeckia, some of which are annuals, so won,t come back.

    This one’s a perennial, goldstrum I think, apparently it self-seeds 🤷🏻‍♀️
