Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.
'Goldquelle'
cone flower
Rudbeckia 'Goldquelle' is a beautiful, long-flowering perennial that lights up the garden with its double, yellow blooms. These bright, daisy-like flowers stand on tall, sturdy stems, creating a cheerful and eye-catching display from midsummer into early autumn. The soft, fluffy petals and vibrant colour of Rudbeckia 'Goldquelle' make it a standout in any sunny border, bringing a touch of sunshine to even the dullest days.
Rudbeckia laciniata 'Goldquelle' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Its tall, upright growth makes it perfect for the middle or back of borders, where its long-lasting blooms can rise above other perennials. It also works wonderfully in prairie-style planting schemes or naturalistic gardens. Ensure it has good support, as the tall stems can lean in windy conditions, and prepare the soil with plenty of organic matter for best results. The bright yellow blooms of Rudbeckia 'Goldquelle' are perfect for pairing with late-summer and autumn perennials. Combine it with purple echinaceas or blue salvias for a striking colour contrast, or mix with ornamental grasses like Miscanthus for a natural, prairie-inspired look. Its cheerful flowers also look stunning alongside other sun-lovers such as Sedum or asters, creating a vibrant, wildlife-friendly display.
Rudbeckia 'Goldquelle' is a pollinator magnet, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects throughout its long flowering season. Its hardy nature and ability to thrive in a range of conditions make it a reliable choice for gardens, coming back year after year with an even stronger display. This variety is also disease-resistant and low-maintenance, making it perfect for both experienced and novice gardeners alike. Although Rudbeckia 'Goldquelle' typically prefers garden beds, it can also be grown in large containers, where its bright yellow blooms will create a focal point on patios or terraces. Choose a deep pot with good drainage, and place it in a sunny spot for the best results. Regular watering and feeding will keep it blooming for months.
Rudbeckia laciniata 'Goldquelle' is a must-have for those looking to add a splash of sunshine to their borders or pots. With its long flowering season, pollinator-friendly blooms, and low-maintenance nature, it’s an ideal choice for creating a vibrant and cheerful garden.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
