    I have quite a few of Rudbeckia Laciniata growing in the field. I would like to put a few in the flower garden. What is the best way to propagate or store seeds for planting next year?

    I’m not a gardener, Ed, so I can’t help. I’ve asked a Twitter friend who is a native plant gardener to see if she’s got any info she’s willing to share. She is @dailywildmd in case you are on Twitter.

    Hi there – I would harvest seed once it was dry and easy to dislodge, then plant in a container outside so the seed can “cold stratify” over the winter. Sometimes Rudbeckias don’t need the cold treatment but it can help. By the way, I use a great book by William Cullina called Growing and Propagating Wildflowers – if you want to learn more!

    Thanks Clare. I’ve put seeds in a cold garage over winter, but no luck on the seeds sprouting. I’ll try a few in the refridge & outside.

    Are these “cut leaf cone flowers” the ones that are 6-9 feet tall? They have many,many seeds. Just wait till they dry out. They store very well in plastic medicine bottles.Like LOTS of water,and grow fast. They are heardy,they are beautiful native plants. But you have to prop them up. They are heavy and fall over.If, they are the ones I think you photographed.

      Yes, it grows quite tall. If you click on the scientific name in the text above the picture, you’ll be taken to the detail page on the plant, which has more photos and information. It sounds like this is the plant you are referencing. Thanks.
