Black-Eyed Susan 'Goldsturm'

About this plant

Known for its abundant, daisy-like golden-yellow flowers with dark brown to black centers, 'Goldsturm' is a garden classic. These cheerful blooms appear in profusion from mid-summer through early fall, providing consistent color and making them an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or containers. 'Goldsturm' is a robust and reliable perennial, celebrated for its strong stems that resist flopping, even after heavy rains. It's an excellent choice for sunny perennial borders, cottage gardens, and meadow plantings, offering outstanding visual impact with minimal effort. Beyond its beauty, this cultivar is a haven for local wildlife. Its nectar-rich flowers attract a variety of pollinators like bees and butterflies, while the spent seed heads, if left through winter, provide valuable food for birds, contributing to a thriving garden ecosystem.

Care & maintenance

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and to prevent self-seeding, though leaving some for winter interest and bird feed is beneficial. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
