Rudbeckia fulgida 'American Gold Rush' PP28498P2
black-eyed Susan
A new introduction from Brent Horvath of Intrinsic Perennials, this Rudbeckia is covered in blooms on a domed and shorter version of a black-eyed Susan. It is perfect planted in masses or in the perennial border and it hides spent blooms to provide uniform color as it blooms for weeks on end. Due to its thinner, hairier leaves, it is found to be resistant to septoria leaf spot.

‘American Gold Rush’ is a naturally compact cultivar (a bit more compact than 'Goldsturm') with narrow 2 inch wide hairy foliage bred for its resistance to Septoria leaf spot. Gorgeous bright, yellow-gold flowers bloom from July to September. The cultivar has smaller foliage and shorter height compared to its seed parent, Rudbeckia fulgida var. deamii. - Missouri Botanic Garden
