Description
24-30" tall x 18-24" wide, this is at or near the top of every experts list of the best perennials of all. In fact, it won Perennial Plant of the Year in 1999. Developed in Germany, this is a hybrid of one of our native wildflowers, the Black-eyed Susan, and its one of the most useful perennials ever introduced.
As you may know, the common roadside Black-eyed Susan is named Rudbeckia hirta, and its a biennial. (We have the seed in our Wildflower Seed Section, and its a mainstay of wildflower mixtures. But its not dependably perennial.)
This is what prompted interest in the hardiest perennial species in the Rudbeckia group. (They look exactly alike) The tough native perennial Black Eyed Susan is R. fulgida, so this is the one a German hybridizer used to create the now-famous Goldsturm strain. (In German, Goldsturm means, literally, Gold Storm.)
Today, these tough, hardy, heavy-flowering plants light up our landscapes everywhere from backyard gardens to flower borders at gas stations and malls. This fantastic plant spreads slowly, is easy to divide when it grows large, and never fails with weeks and weeks of wonderful golden blooms. This is a classic perennial that every garden must have.

Reviews
Love my Black-Eyed Susan
"This black-eyed Susan is a replacement from American Meadows after the first one arrived in bad shape. This plant is thriving and growing well. It arrived big and healthy and with all the rain we received it has grown considerably. No blooms yet but the plant is doing great. Thank you so much!"
Beautiful border flowers
"These bloomed the first year, and look absolutely incredible in the second year!"
My Black eyed susans
"These plants arrived in great shape. Excellent packaging! It was too cold to plant them when they arrived, so I kept them in their original packaging, eventually moving them outside to weather a bit - plus it took me awhile to get my bed in order, I planted them and they are all looking great."
Deer love these unfortunately.
"This grows quickly in the spring to summer months, but may never flower unless you have a 6 foot garden fence as the deer will chew these to the ground any time they have more than a few leaves."
Growing well
"I am a beekeeper and looking for easy perennials that will bloom when bee resources are limited-"
I would buy this product again
"I planted these black eyed susans to anchor my large landscaping island and to add bright color to complement the ornamental grasses."
Plant is beautiful with an abundance of flowers!
"This plant was carefully package and ready to plant when it arrived in May. It was healthy and started to grow shortly after planting and by the middle of July it was very large and the buds were starting to open. And now in early August, it has and abundance of blooms."
I just have one word: gorgeous!
"These black eye Susan worked well both for containers and flower beds. Very colorful yet got moldy when in the shade"
Have bought 200 and will buy more
"I have purchased goldstrum black eyed susans for 3 years and will buy more. They are carefully shipped and healthy. Love this nursery."
The local bunny loved it.
"I never got to find out how it looked. I neglected to check to see if it was bunny proof before ordering. It's tried to send up leaves three times, and I think the third time might have done it in. Definitely not for areas with lots of wild rabbits hopping around."
