Good video

Thank you 🤝

[@carolpalmer2706]

I have not collected this seed before but I will this year. I assume that cutting the dried flowers off will promote bloom.

[@easy.gardening]

That is right Carol, if you deadhead the spent flowers it will encourage a lot more. It's worth deadheading them earlier in the flowering season but letting them go to seed as the season comes to an end - if you want to collect the seeds

[@baileybeluga425]

do you have to cold stratify the seeds?

[@easy.gardening]

Hi Bailey, no - the seeds should be stored in a cool dark place over winter. Avoid storing them in a plastic container to prevent condensation and rotting the seeds. Paper bags or envelopes are a good idea for storing. Hope this helps.

[@baileybeluga425]

@@easy.gardening Thank you so much !

[@denisebalog994]

Good question 👍🌱

[@bputzke4256]

I’m watching this video 11 months later, did you make a video of how to plant them?

[@easy.gardening]

Hello and welcome back! Unfortunately not, I actually didn't grow any Rudbeckia flowers this year but do have plans to next year. Watch out for the video in Spring :-)

[@martinaconroy2328]

Can you cut them and dry them at home

[@easy.gardening]

Hello! Yes you can but you’ll need to be careful you’re not cutting them too soon. The seeds do need to fully mature before harvesting them. Hope this helps 👍

[@martinaconroy2328]

@@easy.gardening they were in my village so I cut off a few heads the petals had falling off . So I have them on my window with paper under them to dry out??

[@easy.gardening]

@martinaconroy2328 if the seeds have had the time to mature then you will be fine 😃
