Rudbeckia Little Gold Star

We recommend planting with Bumper Crop a rich organic soil builder

Common Name: Black-Eyed Susan

This Jelitto introduction is a terrific improvement over the industry standard ‘Goldsturm’. 

While ‘Goldsturm’ can stand waist-high in bloom with tall, wispy flowering stems, ‘Little Goldstar’ is a much more compact, proportional plant.  Standing just knee high, this plant forms a bushy, short clump of rich green foliage covered with a dome of closely spaced, starburst-shaped, 2-2½”, golden yellow blossoms held just above the foliage. 

Very well-branched scapes carry loads of flowers from midsummer through early fall.  Over 80 flowers have been counted on a single plant, making this selection more floriferous than 'Goldsturm'.

This plant looks fantastic in containers at retail and in the garden.  It coordinates perfectly with fall potted mums and asters.
