Growing & Maintenance Tips for Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Little Goldstar'

This cultivar is bred by tissue culture and therefore will not seed true to name. Grows best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Deadheading will help with overall appearance but not necessary for extending bloom times. Tolerates hot and humid summers and has a good tolerance to drought. Leaving finished flowers will provide both winter interest and food for birds.
