| Dumb question, but I don't have a lot of experience with biennials :)
I just inherited four nice divisions of Rudbeckia - pretty sure it's Triloba. From what I understand, this is a biennial, right? Here's my question: I'm not sure yet whether the ones I have will bloom this year, or next. When they do bloom and drop seed, it will take that seed two years to bloom, right? My question is, how do I work it so that this will bloom every year in my garden? Will nature just take care of that? I was wondering if I need to sow seeds in the non-blooming year to make sure I have some that are blooming each year. Thanks! |

| Provide decent conditions (sun and OK soil) and you'll have enough self-sown seedlings to keep it from year to year. You won't necessarily have a blooming gap, since this species can sometimes last beyond two years in the garden. |

| OK Eric - thanks! That's exactly what I was wondering. |
