Growing & Maintenance Tips for Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm'

Grows best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Deadheading will help with overall appearance but not necessary for extending bloom times. Tolerates hot and humid summers and has a good tolerance to drought. Leaving finished flowers will provide both winter interest and food for birds. Very prolific seeder but not true to cultivar.
