Sow the seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors once all risk of frost has passed. Maintain a temperature of 15 to 18°C for rapid germination in 10 to 14 days. When sowing, lightly cover the seeds with potting soil, as they need some light to germinate.
The 'Prairie Glow' rudbeckia prefers well-drained, moderately rich soil and full sun. It also tolerates poorer soils, making it easy to care for. Water regularly to encourage abundant flowering, but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent disease.
