Blackeyed Susan Rudbeckia

Black-eyed Susan 'Goldsturm' (Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm') is a North American native wildflower and one of the most reliable, cheerful perennials you can plant. Bright golden-yellow petals surround dark central cones from mid-summer through mid-fall, creating a bold, sunny display that gets better every year as the clumps fill in. Deer resistant, drought tolerant, and a consistent magnet for bees and butterflies.
