Rudbeckia Goldsturm
Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' is a neat daisy that erupts into bloom from July to October adding warm, end of season colour to borders. Also known as 'Black-Eyed-Susan', this produces masses of uniform, golden-yellow flowers, each with a rich brown centre, lighting up the garden like sunshine.A compact form of the garden coneflower, the sunflower-like blooms are carried on branching, upright stems which make them great for cut flowers as well, so you can bring the colour inside.Totally hardy, even in the harshest winters where it will die back underground, Rudbeckia Goldsturm will flower its socks off, getting bigger and better each year, you'll get months of blooms that look fabulous whether in a container or at the front of a flower border.Growing to just 80cm tall, the toothed, hairy leaves form a compact mound that fills the gaps that appear in borders as the seasons progress, providing a green backdrop for late spring and summer flowers.Easy to grow and particularly robust, this delightful Rudbeckia is even low maintenance, so won't need staking and in late winter the stems just need a quick chop back to ground level. If you want to encourage wildlife, leave them on to provide a natural mulch and home for overwintering insects and invertebrates.Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence and it will return year after year getting bigger and better for many years to come. Plus, this variety is recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant out. As these flowers bud in summer, the plant may arrive bare when out of season.
