Rudbeckias like full sun, but will do well in
light shade.  They do not like overly rich
soil.  Deadheading stimulates continuous
blooming.

Rudbeckia f. 'Goldsturm' is hard to beat.  The
gold daisy-like flowers have a distinct dark brown
central cone and standout against the dark
green foliage.  This variety is nice and compact
and has a sturdy upright habit.  Long blooming
from Summer to Fall.  A great plant for the
garden.
