RHS Rudbeckia Goldsturm Seeds

Sow your Rudbeckia Goldsturm seeds directly outdoors from May to June in a well-prepared seed bed. Sow thinly, cover with a fine layer of compost and keep moist. Thin seedlings to 10cm apart when large enough to handle, and transplant to flowering position from September. Alternatively, sow indoors from February to April, keeping the seed tray covered and warm until seedlings appear. Gradually introduce plants to the outdoors in May, after the last frost.

Rudbeckia Goldsturm will grow to approximately 60-75cm tall. Its eye-catching yellow flowers grow on tall, upright stems - an excellent choice for the back of the border or cutting for indoor flower arrangements.

Yes, Rudbeckia Goldsturm is a herbaceous perennial, meaning it will die back to the rootstock each winter before sending up new growth in spring. This variety is fully hardy, so there’s no need to offer frost protection, though indoor-sown plants should be hardened off before planting out.
