Cultivating Rudbeckia 'Krasavitsa': Field Performance

When we at the 'Capris' farm developed this variety, our main goal was to produce a flower that wouldn't just last a couple of days in a vase, but would retain its commercial appeal for a week or longer. Rudbeckia 'Krasavitsa' is our answer for professional floriculturists who demand consistency and high profitability.

Growing Cycle and Blooming

The variety reaches its peak blooming phase within 70–90 days from germination. This predictable growth timeline allows growers to align their harvest perfectly with market demand peaks. We focused on breeding strong stems that hold the 10–15 cm flowers securely, often eliminating the need for expensive trellising or additional staking.

Color Spectrum

The 'Krasavitsa' variety is prized for its diverse color palette. Within a single crop, you receive a sophisticated mix of bright yellow, warm orange, and deep yellow-brown shades. This variety allows florists to assemble complete, harmonious bouquets using a single source of plant material.

Operational Tips

• Light and Soil: It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. Full sun is essential to ensure maximum stem strength.
• Hydration: While the variety is naturally drought-tolerant, consistent moisture during the bud formation stage is critical to achieving the maximum flower diameter of 15 cm.
• Post-Harvest: For optimal vase life, cut in the early morning when turgor pressure is at its peak. Immediate placement in cold water is recommended.

As the originators of this variety, we prioritize its disease resistance. This trait significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, lowering the overall production cost per unit without sacrificing the quality of the cut flower.
