American Gold Rush Black Eyed Susan
A Modern Black Eyed Susan with Cleaner Foliage.
American Gold Rush Black Eyed Susan is an improved Rudbeckia grown for its bright golden-yellow flowers, dark center cones, and excellent disease-resistant foliage. It delivers the cheerful summer color gardeners expect from Black Eyed Susans, but with a cleaner, more polished look in the landscape. Use it in sunny borders, pollinator gardens, cottage plantings, foundation beds, and low-maintenance perennial beds where long-lasting color and dependable performance both matter.
Golden Flowers from Midsummer into Fall.TheĀ
American Gold Rush produces abundant golden-yellow daisy-like flowers with dark brown to black center cones from midsummer into early fall. The blooms bring bold color during the hottest part of the season and combine beautifully with purple, blue, white, orange, and burgundy companion plants. Plant it in groups for the strongest impact, or repeat it through a sunny bed to create rhythm and seasonal structure.
Mildew-Resistant Foliage for Better Garden Performance.
One of the best reasons to choose American Gold Rush is its improved resistance to mildew compared with many older Rudbeckia varieties. The dark green foliage stays attractive longer, helping the plant look cleaner in late summer when some Black Eyed Susans can begin to show leaf spotting or mildew stress. This makes it a strong choice for homeowners who want bright flowers without sacrificing foliage quality.
Pollinator-Friendly, Deer-Resistant, and Bird-Useful.
The golden flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators during bloom. After flowering, seed heads can be left standing to provide texture and potential food for birds. The coarse foliage also helps make this plant less appealing to deer. No plant is completely deer-proof, but American Gold Rush is a practical choice for sunny, deer-aware landscapes.
Easy Care in Sunny, Well-Drained Beds.
Plant American Gold Rush Black Eyed Susan in full sun with average, well-drained soil. It can tolerate light part shade, but full sun supports the heaviest flowering and strongest habit. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering once roots are developed. Deadhead spent blooms for a tidier look, or leave seed heads for birds and winter interest. Cut back old stems in late fall or early spring.
