Description
Rudbeckia 'Little Gold Star', also known as 'Black-Eyed Susan', is a delightful, award-winning perennial that brings a burst of colour to the garden when many other plants have stopped flowering. From mid-summer onwards, it produces a profusion of bright yellow daisy-like flowers with striking brown central cones. These blooms not only brighten up garden beds but also serve as an excellent landing pad for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, helping to support your local wildlife.
This compact variety grows to a manageable height of around 40-50 cm, making it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and wildlife-friendly spaces. It looks stunning when planted in large drifts or mixed with other perennials, adding a touch of sunshine wherever it is placed. 'Little Gold Star' also makes a wonderful cut flower, bringing its cheerful colour indoors.
Our head grower loves this plant for its low-maintenance nature, hardiness, and ability to flower prolifically. Recognized with the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Little Gold Star' is celebrated for its reliable garden performance and versatility, making it a popular choice among gardeners seeking vibrant colour and wildlife interest throughout the later part of the growing season.
Planting Conditions
We recommend planting Rudbeckia in a sunny spot in the garden, as it thrives in full sun with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. It prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil, but it can tolerate a range of soil types, including clay and loam. To plant, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was in its pot. Space multiple plants 30–45 cm apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth. Add compost or organic matter to improve soil quality and drainage.
Watering & Feeding
Water Rudbeckia regularly during the Summer months, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Newly planted Rudbeckia will need more frequent watering until they establish their root systems. Once established, they are relatively low maintenance if the soil naturally retains moisture. For fertilisation, apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early Spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Over-fertilising can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of blooms, so use sparingly. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and reduce the need for frequent watering.
General Care
To maintain healthy Rudbeckia, deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season. Cut back the stems to the base in late Autumn or early Spring to promote fresh growth. Rudbeckia is generally low-maintenance and resistant to most pests and diseases, though it can occasionally be affected by powdery mildew or leaf spot. To prevent these issues, ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering. Slugs and snails may target young plants, so consider using slug bait or organic deterrents to protect new growth.
