HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow these Rudbeckia Hirta seeds in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this plant needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the Black Eyed Susan seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. The Rudbeckia Hirta seeds can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in spring. Keep seedlings lightly moist, and transplant them as soon as they have developed several leaves.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant grows very quickly and needs little care. Though it grows well in fairly dry soil, it performs best with occasional watering in dry weather. This plant usually begins blooming in its second year of growth. Mature plants tolerate heat and drought well, as well as tolerating clay or rocky soils. Deadhead for the longest blooming period. Mature plants can be divided. This plant attracts butterflies, and may self-seed.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After the flower petals fall from the head, the center cone will begin to develop seed. Remove the seed heads as soon as the stem beneath the cone begins to turn dry and brown. Spread the seed heads out to dry away from direct sunlight, then separate the small Rudbeckia Hirta seeds from the stems by rubbing them lightly. Store the cleaned Black Eyed Susan seeds in a dry, cool place.

I planted these in late spring / early summer, which was probably too late, but a lot of these still came up and flowered beautifully.
Love the seed packet, quality and instructions
From YouTube, Jeri Landers' "Hopalong Hollow" series, she spoke highly about this company. That is how I learned about the seeds and her suggestions how to grow from seed. I am a beginner and my first endeavor using "pods" is showing positive results! So excited to try more varieties of flowers and vegetables.
