Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’ is perfect for adding warmth, structure and long-lasting interest to mixed borders, prairie-style plantings and cottage garden schemes. Its bright golden flowers combine beautifully with ornamental grasses, asters, echinaceas and salvias, creating striking late-season combinations that continue to shine well into autumn. The seed heads also provide additional interest after flowering and can be left standing to add texture to the winter garden.
Easy to grow and exceptionally reliable, Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’ thrives in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in full sun. Once established, it is tolerant of short periods of drought and will return year after year with increasing impact. Its strong stems rarely require staking, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance planting schemes.

As a rough guide when planting Rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’ in borders, allow 5-7 plants per square metre for good coverage, or plant in generous groups to create bold drifts of vibrant colour that carry the garden through late summer and autumn.
