Black Eyed Susan

Rudbeckia 'Goldblitz' is a fantastic addition to any sunny garden or even planted in large containers!  The golden yellow flowers with dark centres attract bees and butterflies, and also look wonderful in a vase to brighten up the house. It will  give you loads on non-stop colour a full three weeks earlier than other Rudbeckias!  'Goldblitz' is smaller and has shiny green leaves instead of the scratchy coarse foliage common among other Black-Eyed Susans. It is great for attracting butterflies and birds to your garden all summer and the pompom spikey balls of seeds in the fall attract songbirds like Goldfinches.   If the birds don't eat them, you'll have fall and winter interest peeking out in the snow.
