Planting and Growing Information
'American Gold Rush' thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil conditions, including clay, alkaline, or acidic soils, as long as they're well-drained. Plant bare roots in spring, spacing them to accommodate the eventual 40-inch spread. Once established, this Rudbeckia requires minimal watering and maintenance. Deadheading spent flowers can extend the already impressive blooming period, though the seedheads also provide winter interest and food for songbirds.
