Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about growing Rudbeckia in your garden. This no-fuss, powerhouse of a perennial needs only full sun & average soil to bloom prolifically summer through fall. Even better, this native plant family offers great deer & rabbit resistance, and some varieties self-sow vigorously to create a large, full, striking golden patch in next year's garden. ‘Goldsturm’ was voted Perennial Plant of the Year in 1999. Since then, several new, improved varieties have been developed, including 'Viette's Little Suzy', 'American Gold Rush', and Minibeckia™ Flame®.
