Carole, is there any signs of your Rudbekia coming through, they should be popping up now, mine have?

Not a the moment I look everyday, Michaella could you post a picture of one of the emerging leaves so I know what Im looking for ;0))

Lovely.

I just love these plants

Beautiful Amy.

lovely.. mine were coming through and the wind knocke dthe head off...... but ive got some more coming

Thanks all , something has been pecking at mine Holly I think it's Jack our visiting Pheasant !

These are gorgeous

Lovely Amy, remember last year when you taught me how to set them, well it worked, they are up again this year. Still in a pot though so might set them in the ground when they've finished flowering. Do they spread Amy?

Thank you 6p , I'm glad they are coming up Dawn ,yes they do spread , my patch is actually slightly bigger than you can see here they have slowly been spreading each year watch out for the dreaded Scarlet Lily Beetle !! they will devour them before your eyes ...

thanks for the warning Amy, didnt realise they were active so early in the year, darn things.

Delightful.......

They will be out anytime Dawn , pretending to be Ladybirds hoping you will miss them ! Thanks Dd :o)

Thanks for the tip Amy

Gorgeous! They must be really happy sited where they are Amy.....I planted some in a tub a couple of years ago and not a sniff came through....I think maybe the corms rotted somehow. You've done well with these.

Janey they need to be placed sideways on a bed of coarse sand 5-8 inches deep, try it that way it worked for Dawn :o) good luck !

Yes it did work for me Amy. Janey, I did as Amy said and mine are ok in pots and flowering again this year. Would like to set some in a damp area of my woodland at some point.
