A breakthrough in T&M breeding, the world's first, quilled petalled Rudbeckia. Absolutely gorgeous, and completely new and unique for beds and borders, Chim Chiminee™ comes in a stunning range of rustic colours. Unrivalled. Height: 60-75cm (24-30in).
Sow February to March at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite, but do not cover the seed completely. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 10-21 days. Do not exclude light at any stage, as this helps germination.
Transplant, when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Grow on in cooler conditons for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.
