Golden-Yellow, Everblooming Perennial

Why Goldsturm Black-Eyed Susans?

1999’s Perennial Plant of the Year, the Goldsturm Black-Eyed Susan is a bright and cheery addition to any landscape, without all the fuss of other perennials. 

The Goldsturm Black-Eyed Susan is a low-maintenance perennial with golden, daisy-like flowers and black seeding centers. These sunshine-yellow flowers illuminate gardens, patios, or borders with ease and are ideal for an upbeat cut flower display. And with blooms that appear in mid- to late summer, this beauty will breathe color back into your space after other flowers have faded.

What's more is that the oval-shaped foliage, along with the stems, are covered in roughly textured hairs that not only provide a unique look, but also deter larger pests like deer and rabbits

Plus, the Goldsturm Black-Eyed Susan isn't just pest resistant - it's also drought resistant and tolerant of low-quality soil, outlasting heat, humidity, and clay soils with ease. You won't need to spend hours maintaining these blooms - just sit back and enjoy, while the Goldsturm Black-Eyed Susan attracts butterflies and other pollinators. (An added bonus? The seed heads left behind by the flowers provide food for songbirds during the winter!)

It is struggling

The plant is somewhat struggling right now, but we recently got some rain and expect sun in the next few days, so hopefully the plant will start to acclimate. Otherwise, conditions in my garden seem to be right for the plant. Will keep you posted. Thank you.

Looking forward to getting some blooms.

Got two of these one was great the other was a little smashed. It's hot here in Florida already. So trying to give them enough water to take hold without over watering. Lost some leaves around the bottom but the middle section is bouncing back.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Norma! We appreciate you letting us know. We’re sorry to hear one arrived a bit smashed and will be sharing this with the carrier to help improve future deliveries. It's great that recovery is already underway. Florida heat can be tricky, so if you ever need tips or support, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Very Happy

I bought these a couple years back and I was a little sad they didn’t bloom the first year. Turns out, they are the most gorgeous part of my garden. That same year, I bought some cone flowers and black eyed Susan’s from Home Depot to round out my garden, but the ones from fast growing. com have proved to be the hardiest flowers and the most spectacular. I’m really pleased with them and I’m purchasing some more this year for my backyard. I guess good things come to those who wait!
