Why We Love It:
Rudbeckia ‘Rustic Dwarf’ is a bushy, low-growing variety that produces masses of large daisy-like flowers in warm shades of gold, bronze, and mahogany. Its compact habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens, pots, or front-of-border planting. Loved by bees and butterflies, this easy-to-grow favourite adds vibrant, long-lasting colour right through late summer into autumn.
Planting & Care Tips:
When to Plant: Sow indoors from February to April or directly outdoors after the last frost (typically from May)
Where to Plant: Sunny, sheltered spots in beds or large pots
Spacing: 25–30cm apart
Care Notes: Water regularly, especially in dry spells, and deadhead to extend flowering. Feed monthly during blooming season for the best display
The Nunhead Gardener Recommends:
Perfect paired with ornamental grasses, coreopsis, or salvias for a warm-toned, pollinator-friendly summer border. Try in terracotta pots on a South London patio for bold, low-maintenance colour.
