Re: irish eyes rudbeckias

Julie - 

Out of the three different Rudbeckias that I have tried....this one is my 
favorite.  Sadly, the first time I had these they did not live to the next 
year nor did they self sow.  In the defense of the plant....I had a new bed 
and this was one of the 1st 10 plants placed....since then (3 years) I've 
reshaped the bed twice and moved almost every plant in the bed twice-----now 
that my bed is well established (and there is really no more room to make it 
bigger) I think it will have a better chance of survival or at least 
selfsowing.  I usually collect a few seeds for manual sowing just in 
case....but I'm not sure if the seeds will be true to "Irish Eyes"...does 
anyone?

I didn't know you could take cuttings of Rudbeckias.......when is the best 
time?  I know that they can be divided but if I can take cuttings that would 
ensure the plant being a true "Irish Eyes" and I wouldn't have to dig up my 
mother plant.

Happy Gardening
