Rudbeckia fulgida sullivantii var. 'Goldstrum'
I don't really like a lot of yellow but I do love this plant. Rudbeckia 'Goldstrum' brings brilliant warm autumnal tones to the garden from august through to october. It has yellow, almost orange single flowers with a black cone. It is a great planted with grasses and a brilliant cut flower and is loved by pollinators. Fairly low maintenance, it just needs tidied up in winter when you are tired of looking at the seed heads.
