Rudbeckia 'American Goldrush' is destined to be the new staple for landscapes! It makes a mound of golden yellow flowers with black centers that are produced heavily from July until frost. Thanks to the thinner and hairier leaves, this hybrid Rudbeckia shows no signs of fungus and mildew even in wet, humid conditions.
