Teaser The bright yellow flowers appear in late summer and put on a glorious show through early fall.

Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm' is a beloved, tried-and-true cultivar of the Black-Eyed Susan perennial. This reliable garden performer typically reaches 24-36 inches tall and 18-24 inches wide, with a bushy, upright habit that is smothered in a profusion of golden-yellow flowers from mid-summer through fall. The 3-4 inch wide daisy-like blooms feature deep brown central cones that are surrounded by brilliant yellow ray petals. 'Goldsturm' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for borders, beds, and mass plantings. Its long-lasting flowers, ease of care, and ability to attract pollinators have cemented 'Goldsturm' Rudbeckia as a garden staple, providing reliable, season-long color and visual interest.

Limited Availability

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

About Ordering From The Plant Club

To secure the best prices for club members and make sure we know the current plants available from each nursery, we take orders only a couple of times a month.

Shoot us an email at help@northshoreplantclub.com, and we'll be happy to talk about plants or let you know when it's time to buy them!


No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
