    I have grown Rudbeckia Goldsturm Coneflower from seed in 2013 . This year I took them out of the plant pots and put them in a sunny front garden - 4 plants . Now 2 are flowering very nicely , the other two are a picture of health nice green lush foliage but not one flower ?
    I only feed this bed with Growmore at the start of the season , so I hope overfeeding is not a problem. Any ideas anyone ?

    TIA

    H, they take a while to settle in but once established as tough as old boots , I have had the same with bought plants , a 50 50 ratio with flowering , they should flower more next year .

      Thanks Spruce , I'll keep my fingers crossed for next year :dbgrtmb:
      Just checked, to buy them as a 2 litre pot plant it is £4.99 to £7.99 each ! Thank heavens for seed packets .
