With bold daisy-shaped blooms in warm tones of amber, copper, gold, and bronze, the Rudbeckia ‘Pollynation Mix’ is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and late-summer colour. These long-stemmed beauties are ideal for cutting, and they bring strong structure to garden borders just when everything else is starting to fade.
This mix includes a gorgeous variety of shades and petal forms — from single to semi-double — all bred for maximum pollinator appeal and vase performance. A brilliant choice for anyone who loves naturalistic planting and flowers that actually earn their keep.

Please note that the majority of our seeds are packed by volume so the number of seeds indicated is an approximation.
We make every effort to provide British seeds where possible, but in some cases our British Growers are unable to grow in sufficient quantities to meet our demand or the seeds are subject to Plant breeders' rights which means it is only possible for us to buy these seeds from certain non UK flower farms
