Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’, commonly known as Black-eyed Susan, is a robust perennial that brings vibrant cheer to your garden with its striking golden-yellow flowers. Each bloom features a dramatic dark brown central cone surrounded by radiant petals, creating a dazzling display from mid-summer through autumn. Growing to a height of 60-90 cm (24-36 inches) with a similar spread, ‘Goldsturm’ is ideal for brightening borders, beds, and wildflower gardens.

For optimal growth, plant Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’ in a sunny position where it can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and is relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance addition to your garden. Regular watering is beneficial, especially during dry spells, to keep the plant healthy and blooming profusely.

Feed Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’ with a balanced, all-purpose fertiliser in early spring to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering. To encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy appearance, deadhead spent flowers regularly. In late autumn, cut back the plant to ground level after the foliage has died back.

Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’ is excellent for attracting bees and other pollinators, providing a valuable nectar source throughout its long flowering season. By incorporating this vibrant perennial into your garden, you enhance its beauty while supporting local wildlife and contributing to a more biodiverse garden.
