Description

Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Goldsturm’ is a popular garden plant for a reason – it’s a super reliable, versatile and consistently strong flowering plant that lights up borders and container displays in those sultry, warm days of late summer and early autumn. It’s a robust plant with strong mounds of lance-shaped foliage that is quite distinctive in the border and that emerges in spring and bulks up and gathers energy ready for its late-season display. When that display does come it’s quite spectacular – masses of large, golden yellow daisies with dark, pronounced centres that go on and on, right through towards mid autumn (with us they’re often flowering in late October). They are loved by pollinators for the accessible pollen and are robust enough to hold their own in a mixed border but also look great as part of a late-season container display.

These established, garden-ready plants have been grown in peat-free compost at our nursery in Cornwall and are supplied in two-litre containers. They will grow to an ultimate height of 60cm (24 inches) with a similar spread.

Growing Advice

Rudbeckias are prairie plants, and as such used to growing in sunny open spaces exposed to mid-summer sun and wind. It will thrive the most where you can replicate these conditions, and will certainly grow most robustly in full sun. However we’ve also grown ours in part-shaded locations and they have done well and certainly flowered strongly, though if grown in part-shade in rich soil the plant might need a little staking to see it at its best, particularly if autumn rains set in. That said, if it does flop over it does so quite gracefully in our experience, and there is something equally joyous about a tall plant mingling its flowers in amongst the lower growing plants around it.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
