    Susan Roots

    I read somewhere that Black Eyed Susan can be rooted from cuttings. Does anyone know how to do this, and what sort of results to expect. I have some commercially produced seeds from the local GC but I would like to try the other method purely as a fun experiment. I hope it is nothing like growing rhodedendrons from seed...eight years of eager anticipation - and only one day of bitter disappointment.

    Thanks in advance for advice.

    Ann.

    Ann I'm sorry, I'm surprised the mods haven't moved your post. Have a look on "The Flower Mill", or post your query on there and you will get more of a response. Again, I only grow flowers as companions to my veg, or some cheap and cheerful annuals for my pots troughs and baskets, so can't help.

      Which Black eyed Susan do you mean Ann? Is it the vine or the Rudbeckia? I presume the latter as I think the climbing one is an annual.
      Does this help http://texasasla.org/files/rudbeckia.pdf

        Susan Roots,

        Sorry, I have forgotten which variety, but the are in my hanging baskets. Nice long tendrils and a few flowers, but that's about it. I have looked for seeds on spent flower heads, but none there. ( I have purchased a packet of seeds ready for Spring). Just hoped I could have experimented a bit. Thanks anyway.

          If its in a hanging basket its probably thunbergia alata BBC - Gardening: Plant Finder - Black-eyed Susan.
          Why not experiment with it - take a few hanging tendrils and put them in water. I find this works with most cuttings and involves very little effort - I like that!! Good luck with them
