{"product_id":"goldsturm-black-eyed-susan-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Goldsturm Black-Eyed Susan - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eGoldsturm is the black-eyed Susan most gardeners picture: bright gold daisies with dark brown cones on sturdy, branching stems from midsummer into fall. It has been a garden standard for decades because it is tough, reliable and generous with flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt shines in mass plantings, prairie gardens and sunny borders. Leave the dark seed heads in place after bloom; they add structure to the winter garden and feed small birds like goldfinches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle daisy flowers 2.5 to 3 inches across with deep golden yellow petals around a domed, dark brown to nearly black central cone. Flowers are held on branching, upright stems, many open at once at about the same height. Leaves are lance-shaped to oval, dark green and coarse, forming a basal clump with smaller leaves up the stems. The plant is an upright clump 24 to 36 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. At peak it looks like a solid sheet of gold daisies with dark eyes over deep green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoldsturm thrives in the same sunny, well-drained conditions as lavender, and its gold and brown daisies pick up where lavender's first bloom leaves off, with a warm color contrast to the purple spikes and silvery leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in average, well-drained soil; it tolerates dry spells once established. Hardy in zones 4-10; leave the cones for winter interest and bird food, cut back in early spring, and divide every few years when clumps get crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rudbeckia fulgida\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden yellow with a dark brown cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, branching clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–36 in tall × 18–24 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–10\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.
