Rudbeckia Fulgida 'Goldsturm' is a moderate growing wild flower and perennial plant that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 3A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 2 feet to 3 feet and an average width of 1 foot to 2 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun and grows best when planted in loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained. It attracts butterflies and visual attention and is resistant to deer, drought, insects, diseases and heat.
Black Eyed Susan can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in mass plantings, as a border or edger, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas or in landscape beds or islands and also in rock or xeriscape gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens or perennial gardens.
Among the best border perennials available, winner of The Perennial Plant of the Year in 1999, the Goldsturm Daisy is a major improvement of the native North American species. Plants make a bushy, upright clump to 24 inches tall with a profuse display of brown-eyed, golden-yellow daisies from midsummer through the fall. Seedheads have good winter interest. The flowers are very attractive to butterflies and are excellent for cutting.
