Such a lovely colour but in my garden I would stand no chance...direct sun all day in the summer.

I looked on my plant list San....and yes, Queen Victoria........
thanks Pip and Carole....I'll have to look out for it in winter....:o(
This one is in direct sun Troddles....south facing and wall backed, total heat!.....it hasn't flagged although the Queen Victoria one needs watering every day.

Beautiful, I grew mine for seed so they've not flowered yet, about a foot high at the moment, I hope they do flower before the Autumn sets in .

Did you find it easy to grow Dawn? I may save some seed for next year......I love the vivid red colour. BTW the Rudbeckia cones are drying....will send you some seeds through in a couple of weeks...:o)

Hi Janey, yes quite easy, I grew Lobelia cardinalis ' Queen Victoria'. I also grew Lobelia Tupa but they didnt come as well. I'll try and save some seed - if they flower.
You are very kind Janey, I'll look forward to receiving he Rudbeckia seeds :-)
