Here’s hoping on these. Last year I planted the same seeds but from Mr Fothergills and as usual from MF, they didn’t germinate. Not a single one. This packet had approximately 100 seeds in but so far I can only see about 7 or 8 germinating. Fingers crossed they all survive as I love Rudbeckia, and so do the insects!
