Rudbeckia Goldsturm is a classic late summer perennial known for its bright golden yellow petals and bold, dark central cones. Flowering from midsummer into autumn, it brings warm, cheerful colour to borders just as many plants begin to fade. The sturdy stems and long lasting blooms make it ideal for cottage gardens, prairie style planting and wildlife friendly borders, where it attracts bees and butterflies throughout the season. Goldsturm forms a reliable, upright clump that returns year after year with a strong display.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
