Ok Earlier this year I bought some rudbeckia as plug plants and grew them on in pots before planting out. Although they produced an abundance of foliage I got no flowers. Is this normal in a first year
Yes, that is perfectly normal for perennials. You'll have a lovely show next year, they’re late flowering so will continue after other stuff had died off. I’ve still got a couple of flowers now.
When they start getting into big clumps just dig a few bits up and plant elsewhere, the plant that keeps on giving.
