About this seed
Rudbeckia Toto is a genetically compact Black-Eyed Susan bred specifically for pot and border use. Unlike the tall, rangy rudbeckias that flop over, Toto stays at a tidy 23 cm tall with an 28 cm spread, producing an abundance of bright, cheerful 5 cm flowers with the classic dark cone centre. Native to North America, rudbeckias are extremely tough plants that attract butterflies and bees. Toto blooms early and continuously, and because it's genetically compact, no growth regulators are needed. Day length above 14 hours initiates flowering.
