Rudbeckia Goldsturm

Goldsturm was the 1999 Perennial Plant Associations Plant of the Year! A simply magnificent hardy perennial for any full sun to partially shaded area. Once established, plants are virtually maintenance free. Bright golden-yellow petals surround dark brown centers. Plants grow 24-36" tall. Great for beds, borders or meadow areas. Prolific bloomers, Goldsturm produce ample flowers to grace both the garden and fresh arrangements.

DAYS TO GERMINATION:
8-14 days at 68-72°F (20-22°C)

SOWING:
Transplant (recommended) - Sow into 72 to 50-cell plug flats 5-7 weeks before last frost. Cover seed very lightly as light is needed for germination. Harden off seedlings and transplant out after danger of frost has passed. Bottom water or mist to avoid covering seed.

Direct seed - Surface sow 2 weeks before last frost. Heat and drought tolerant once established. Pinching not required. Reseeds.
