Description

Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldsturm' is free-flowering with single, black centered, golden daisies up to 4" across. It is long-blooming, from middle summer to early fall. A true perennial, Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' has become a landscape staple. It will form colonies as it spreads slowly by rhizomes. It was selected as the Perennial Plant Association "1999 Plant of the Year". Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' is particularly attractive planted with grasses and other meadow plants. Deadhead to prevent self-sowing; seedlings will vary from the cultivar.

Rudbeckia fulgida is native from Texas to Michigan, eastward to New York and south to Florida. The variety sullivantii is considered a synonym of var. speciosa, which is has a more limited range, mostly in the eastern American Midwest eastward to the coast.

Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil, but it will tolerate drier soils and drought, once established. It is adaptable to a wide range of soil types. It makes a good rain garden plant.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
