{"product_id":"american-gold-rush-black-eyed-susan-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"American Gold Rush Black-Eyed Susan - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican Gold Rush grows into a broad dome smothered in golden yellow, black-centered daisies from midsummer into early fall, with a few flowers hanging on until frost. It is wider than it is tall, so a single plant fills a lot of space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts leaves are thinner and noticeably hairier than older black-eyed Susans, and that helps it shrug off Septoria leaf spot, the fungus that browns so many plantings in humid summers. It is a native, easy, long-flowering choice for prairie plantings, rain gardens and sunny borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle daisy flowers 2 to 3 inches across with narrow, slightly drooping golden yellow petals around a raised, dark chocolate-black central cone. Hundreds of flowers sit on branched stems at an even height, forming a solid dome of gold. Leaves are narrow, lance-shaped and medium green, with a soft, hairy surface. The plant is a wide, dome-shaped mound 22 to 26 inches tall and 40 to 44 inches across. At peak bloom the foliage is almost hidden under a blanket of yellow flowers with dark eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican Gold Rush likes the same sunny, well-drained ground as lavender, and its golden daisies open as the lavender harvest ends, giving a bold yellow contrast to the gray-green lavender foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun to light shade in average, well-drained soil; once established it handles dry spells well. Hardy in zones 4-9; leave the seed heads standing in fall for winter interest and birds, and cut back the old stems in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rudbeckia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden yellow with a black center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium green, hairy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad, dome-shaped mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–26 in tall × 40–44 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
