Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Goldsturm’ (rood-BEK-ee-uh FUL-jih-duh) Black-Eyed Susan Herbaceous Perennial 2 ft. tall and wide Low Water Full Sun USDA Zones 4 to 9 Goldsturm is a Black-Eyed Susan cultivar with a sturdy compact habit that does not need staking. It has thin branched stems and oval, slightly hairy leaves. A clump of leaves emerges from the crown early in the growing season. The clump spreads slowly each season by means of underground rhizomes. From late summer to fall, 2.5” – 5” flower heads appear, composed of bright golden-yellow rays around dark brown disc florets. Goldsturm grows best in moist clay soils. Plants will survive dry conditions, but the large leaves may become damaged. It flowers best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Goldsturm combines well with other bold prairie or meadow perennials and grasses. It is especially effective planted in masses, forming large drifts. This perennial is easy to grow and requires little maintenance. During the bloom season, removing the spent flower heads encourages continued blooming. Later in the season, allow the flowers to go to seed after the rays fall away. The remaining “cones” of seeds add interest to the autumn garden and provide much loved seeds for the winter birds. Later in the winter, or after the seeds are gone, the old flowering stems can be cut back to the ground.
