Rudbeckia fulgida Goldsturm
Rudbeckia Fulgida ‘Goldsturm’Black-eyed Susans can last 15-20+ years, but some varieties can start giving you trouble around the 15-year mark. Their daisy-like blooms fill the garden with bright yellow and orange from midsummer all the way till fall.
Something I personally love about these perennials is how easy they are to maintain. Thanks to their drought-tolerant nature, black-eyed Susans only really need some infrequent watering, trimming, and fertilization to grow and bloom well.
Perennial in zones 3-9. They love both cold winters and hot summers. Just note that not all Rudbeckias are this long-lived, so make sure you plant this variety.
