Rudbeckia Seeds - Green Wizard

Rudbeckia Seeds – Green Wizard was £2.60 now £2.49

The sepals (the bit that normally protects the flower when its a bud) are larger than normal, and look like green petals when it opens. Producing large black cones with a golden crown, they look amazing in the garden and in a vase. They also work well as dried flowers, as they have no petals to dry. Truly magical. Height 150-200cm (411-66). Unusual cut flowerWildlife love this plantGood mid-back of border perennialStunning as a dried cut flower too
