Rudbeckia Goldsturm is a garden classic, and for good reason. Dazzling mounds of yellow flowers with a deep brown center are produced in late summer. This selection of the native wildflower is compact, well branched, very long blooming and unbothered by insects or drought. A drift of Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' is a must in every sunny garden!

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Rudbeckias are easy to grow in average well drained soil in full sun to partial sun. Remove the spent flower heads to encourage repeat bloom. Toward the end of the flowering season stop deadheading. The black seed heads remain attractive throughout the winter and the seeds provide a source of food for small birds.
