CLOSED: Have: Rudbeckia Maxima seeds

I went out into the garden today and collected seeds.
It is a wonderful plant;about 6.5 ft high. The birds love it!

Will trade for SASE.

I would love to trade some giant sunflower seed, mexican sunflower, cox comb, or variety of morning glory for some.

Would you happen to have moon glory? If not what type of morning glories do you have? I love the velvety purple variety and the variegated variety.

Would like to have some of those Rudbeckia Maxima seed...would you consider trading for some Chocolate Silk morning glories?

I looked at your trade list and was wondering if you might be willing to trade some Apricot Blush Digitalis purpurea cv. seeds for the Rudbeckia Maxima.

I have a real problem with deer and they don't like digitalis.
ROX

Sure, that will be great.
Send me your address and I'll get them in the mail.
Mine is:

Thanks for the trade!

Any special instructions for germination?

I am sending your seeds today. Let me know how they do.
ROX

I'm new (just joined today!) This has been on my wishlist forever. Am I too late to send an sasbe?

Hi,
Would love to try a few. Could I send a SASBE? Thanks

Crystal

Bren and Crystal-
Go ahead and send the envelopes. I'll go pick some more seeds and save them for you.
ROX

Could you spare just a few for me? I love them. Thanks Pauletta

Roxanne,
Thanks so much! I like the way the middle stands up. Way cool!

Crystal

Pauletta-
Yes, last ones.
SASBE OK? If so, go ahead and send the envelope and I will send the seeds.
Enjoy and please let me know how they germinate.

Thanks, ROX

Thank You!! You've made my week!

Bren-
I don't normally collect seeds. I can grow plants (lots...about 800 varieties) but seed germination is still a mystery to me.
So... please let me know how it goes and if you figure out a good way to propagate these by seed, please let me know.

I allowed the plant to self seed, so we'll see if I have any babies this year.

Dear All-
I found this info at the Brooklyn Botanical website:

Rudbeckia maxima can also be propagated from seed collected in the fall (September and October); seed is sometimes hard to find and difficult to germinate. If you want to try, first stratify or cool the seed in a refrigerator at approximately 40oF (4oC) for three months. Then sow the seed in flats or small pots filled with a lightweight soil mix. Young seedlings can be thinned and transplanted into individual containers during March and April and will be ready for transplanting into the garden in May and June.

Another site:
Germination: These perennial seeds germinate very irregularly over a long period. Lower temperatures of less than +5°C (41°F) are very effective. Seed trays should not be discarded prematurely. Constant moisture must be maintained. Do not leave in direct sunlight.

sorry so late answering you...sending sasbe today. Thanks Pauletta

Pauletta-
No problem.
ROX

Rox,

My DH got home from the hospital yesterday and I'm checking on what I did or didn't do!
Do I owe you seed?

Mallie

Mallie-
I am so glad your DH is home.

I received your digitalis seeds and they are planted and sprouting!
Thank you. Take care. ROX
