Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldsturm' is a robust perennial prized for its bold, golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers with striking blackish-brown centres. Flowering from August to October, the large blooms, up to 12cm (5in) across, add vibrant colour to late summer and autumn gardens.
This upright coneflower reaches around 60cm (2ft) tall, making it ideal for the middle of sunny borders or planted in bold drifts alongside ornamental grasses and other late perennials.
Thriving in full sun, 'Goldsturm' performs best in fertile, moisture-retentive soils but adapts to a range of well-drained conditions. An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, it attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while its seed heads provide winter food for birds like finches, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

Rudbeckia thrive in full sun and well-drained soils, avoiding waterlogged conditions in winter. Improve heavy or clay-based soils by incorporating generous amounts of compost or other organic matter prior to planting.
Protect young growth from slugs and snails, as they can quickly decimate tender new foliage. Once established, Rudbeckia are generally low-maintenance, but benefit from occasional division, in late autumn or early spring, to rejuvenate congested clumps.
As the flowers emerge, provide support by installing ring stakes or placing brushwood around the base of the plants. This helps to prevent flopping, especially for taller varieties or those in more exposed gardens.
