Rudbeckia ‘American Gold Rush’ (Black-Eyed Susan)
Rudbeckia ‘American Gold Rush’ is a breakthrough variety of Black-Eyed Susan, celebrated for its exceptional resistance to Septoria leaf spot — a common issue in humid climates. Its thinner, slightly hairy foliage stays clean and healthy all season long, even in wet conditions. From midsummer through fall, dome-shaped mounds are blanketed with golden yellow blooms centered by deep black cones, creating a dazzling display of color and pollinator activity.
Winner of the 2020 All-America Selections Perennial Award, this vigorous and dependable Rudbeckia is destined to become a landscape favorite. It thrives in full sun to light shade and tolerates a wide range of soils, provided they’re well-drained. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering well into fall.
Why It’s a Creekside Champion™:
This variety earns its title for unmatched disease resistance, season-long performance, and exceptional garden impact. Its ability to stay clean in challenging weather—while delivering months of vivid color and pollinator activity—makes it one of the most dependable Rudbeckias you can grow.
