Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Little Goldstar’
Rudbeckia 'Little Goldstar' is a dwarf black-eyed susan that is no slouch when it comes to pumping out flowers.
‘Little Goldstar’ is a dwarf cultivar growing to only 14-16 inches and topped with masses of black-eyed Susan flowers with rich gold petals and a black cone. Great for small spaces, the front of the border and containers with a long-flowering habit from summer into fall. The larger form of this species, Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Goldsturm’, is a garden classic selected by the PPA as Perennial Plant of the Year 1999. The image compares ‘Goldsturm’ and ‘Little Goldstar’.
