Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia Care

Plant Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia in full or partial sun, although the best blooming occurs in full sun. Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia prefers moist, well-draining, organically rich soil, although they will become tolerant of drier conditions once established. Keep the soil consistently moist for the first year after planting to get them off to a good start. 

You have the option of keeping the plant tidy throughout the growing season by deadheading spent flowers to extend and encourage blooming. In late fall, cut the entire plant to a few inches above the ground, or allow the last blooms to go to seed to feed the birds.

Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia Spacing

Plant Viettes Little Suzie Rudbeckia in drifts for outstanding swaths of golden-yellow color. It works well in native, rain, and pollinator gardens, cottage-style applications, in meadows, and other naturalized areas. If planting in large drifts, space plants 20 inches or more on center; mature established plants will eventually spread naturally.
