Rudbeckia Sunbeckia series is a hirta hybrid that was bred in Germany and is known for its large flower size and long-lasting blooms.It is available as tissue culture and is recommended to be produced in a 72 or 105 cell tray (app 5-6 week propagation time). It is also available as a liner.

Large flower size and long-lasting blooms

Due to its strong vigor it has a short crop time of 8-10 weeks after transplanting. The Sunbeckia series Rudbeckia requires long day treatment. Without this period it is not advised to start transplanting prior to week 12. In addition to being a spring crop, we recommend continue transplanting in a 3 weeks rhythm. The start in week 18 till 26 results in perfect summer and fall production. A flowering ‘Sunbeckia’ has outstanding garden performance as well as great in a patio container.
