Characteristics of Rudbeckia hirta MiniBeckia™ ‘Flame’®
Rudbeckia hirta MiniBeckia™ ‘Flame’® forms a compact, dense and naturally well-branched clump reaching around 50 cm in height. Its large semi-double flower heads feature golden-yellow ray florets broadly marked with red to red-orange near the centre, surrounding a dark brown cone. This flame-like bicoloured pattern is its main distinguishing feature. The flowers can reach 10 to 15 cm in diameter and are produced successively from summer into autumn. The dark green, slightly hairy foliage supports strong, upright flower stems. Its cold tolerance is limited, so long-term survival depends greatly on winter conditions.
How to use Rudbeckia hirta MiniBeckia™ ‘Flame’®?
The compact habit of Rudbeckia hirta MiniBeckia™ ‘Flame’® makes it particularly suitable for sunny borders, edging, group plantings and summer displays. It also performs well in pots and sufficiently large planters, where its oversized flowers can be shown to full effect. In borders, its combination of yellow, red-orange and brown works well with ornamental grasses, salvias, echinaceas and other summer-flowering perennials. Its stems can also be used for cut flowers. In regions with significant winter frost, it is best treated as a seasonal plant or short-lived perennial.
What are the cultivation tips for Rudbeckia hirta MiniBeckia™ ‘Flame’®?
Plant Rudbeckia hirta MiniBeckia™ ‘Flame’® preferably in full sun, in fertile, well-drained soil that retains moderate moisture during active growth. Allow around 35 to 40 cm between plants to encourage good branching and airflow. Water regularly after planting, then adjust irrigation according to weather conditions, while avoiding waterlogging. In containers, use a free-draining substrate and apply a suitable flowering-plant fertiliser during the growing season. Remove faded flowers regularly to maintain a neat appearance. Frost protection is recommended where the plant is grown in areas with cold winters.
