Goldsturm Black-Eyed Susan

Plant in spring or fall, spacing 18–24 inches apart in average, well-drained soil. Goldsturm is the most widely grown and reliable black-eyed Susan — an award-winning perennial with large, golden-yellow flowers and dark central cones on strong, upright stems. It adapts to average to lean conditions without special preparation. Water regularly through the first growing season, then reduce.

Deadhead spent blooms for continuous flowering, or leave seed heads through fall and winter for birds — goldfinches particularly love the seeds. Divide every three to four years in early spring to maintain vigor. No heavy fertilizing is needed. Goldsturm is easy, tough, and beautiful — one of the most reliable and enduring perennials for sunny borders. An outstanding nectar source for bees and butterflies.
