Rudbeckia ‘Goldstrum’

A gorgeous bright yellow rudbeckia that works hard to earn its keep in the garden.

I like a plant that works hard for its place in a border. Rudbeckia ‘Goldstrum’ does just that. It flowers for a really good long time - until the first frosts and beyond, really, and it gets going in late summer when other plants are looking a bit tatty. And it is bright, bright yellow, so you can see it from a good distance, which is super-handy.

Here it is, looking beautiful at the base of some verbena:

I got these Rudbeckia perennial plants from Plant Me Now. I found that they did need a little bit of protection from the battalion of slugs and snails in this new garden, so I scattered crushed garlic around them and they grew very well indeed. I’ll be sad when the winter does take them away as currently they cheer up even the rainiest trips to see the chickens at the top of the garden/
