  • Black-Eyed Susan - Rudbeckia Fulgida Var
    Black-eyed Susan - Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’ A favorite summertime flower, the Black-eyed Susan, with its bright, golden-yellow flowers, produces a ‘gold storm’ of blooms in gardens everywhere. Selected by the Perennial Plant Association as the 1999 Perennial of the Year, this rudbeckia has been acclaimed internationally as one of the most popular perennials for the past fifty years. produces masses of golden color all summer long. It can be one of the most important flowers in the perennial garden. A member of the huge aster or composite family, they typically stay in a basil rosette their first year. Then during the second year produce upright, branching stems with orange-gold flowers. The rough- textured leaves are diamond shaped, and the plant produces erect, bristly stems about thirty-six inches tall. It’s significant compact habit produces long-blooming flowers, and is low maintenance. This spectacular perennial tolerates poor clay soils and mild droughts, but grows best in well- drained and moist soil with regular watering. However, it will not tolerate soggy soils. It is a rhizomatous perennial (spreads by rhizomes, making large clumps) with crowded, branching stems. ‘Goldsturm’ performs as well in the high heat and humidity of Houston, as well as tolerate the arid, cold winters of Amarillo. This Black-eyed Susan is at home in the naturalized, semi-wild garden, used as a border, or even a non-invasive ground cover with full sun to light shade. Plants have minimal blooms the first season unless they undergo cold treatment (vernalization). The long, strong stems make this orange coneflower ideal for cutting.

  • Heart of Uwchlan Pollinator Garden Plant Suggestions – Perennials 2020 Page 1
    Pollinator Garden Plant Suggestions - Perennials Heart of Uwchlan Project Tips for Planting a Pollinator Garden • Assess your location. Is it dry? Often wet? Is soil clay or loamy? How much sun or shade? Select plants appropriate to the conditions: “Right plant in the right place.” • Plant so you have blooms in every season. Don’t forget late summer/autumn bloomers; migrating butterflies need that late season pollen and nectar. • Plant for a variety of flower color and shape. That’s prettier for you, but it also appeals to a variety of pollinators. Some bees and butterflies prefer specific plants. • Plant in groups of at least three . easier for pollinators to find and browse. • Don’t forget the birds. Plant tubular flowers for hummingbirds, bushes with berries for birds (see related Plant List for Shrubs). • Finally, do minimal cleanup in the fall. Leave the leaves, dead stems and flower heads. Beneficial insects like miner bees lay eggs in hollow stems, finches will eat the echinacea seeds. Many butterflies and moths overwinter as pupae in dead leaves. Spring Blooming Golden-ragwort (Packera aurea) – mid to late Spring – Damp location, shade Grows freely and naturalizes into large colonies. Yellow flower heads, blooms for over 3 weeks in mide- to late spring. Dense ground cover. Prefers partial sun, medium shade. Prefers moist, swampy conditions. Cut back bloom stalks after flowering. Golden Alexander (Zizia aurea) – blooms May-June – prefers wet habitats but will tolerate dry Attractive bright yellow flower which occurs from May – June, looks like dill in shape. An excellent addition to a wildflower garden because it provides accessible nectar to many beneficial insects with short mouthparts during the spring and early summer when such flowers are relatively uncommon.

Threats: • Conversion of habitat to pine plantations (bedding, dense tree spacing, etc.) • Residential and commercial development • Fire exclusion, allowing invasion of habitat by woody species • Hydrologic alteration directly (e.g. ditching) and indirectly (fire suppression allowing higher tree density and more large-diameter trees) Beneficial Management Practices: • Thinning (during very dry periods), targeting off-site species such as loblolly and slash pines for removal • Prescribed burning, establishing a regime consisting of mostly growing season (May-June) burns Rare Plants of Louisiana LA River Basins: Pearl, Pontchartrain, Mermentau, Calcasieu, Sabine Side view of flower.

  • Rudbeckia Fulgida (Orange Coneflower) Botanical Bytes by Bruner by Gregory Bruner
    Rudbeckia fulgida (Orange Coneflower) Botanical Bytes by Bruner By Gregory Bruner Foliage Height: 18-36” Foliage Width: 18-36” Flower Height: 24-36” Foliage Color: Green Flower Color: Yellow USDA Hardiness: 3-8 Moisture: Average Light: Full Sun – Part Sun Rudbeckia fulgida is native to most of the Eastern United States. Cold hardiness is not an issue with this leafy family member, allowing it to be happy down to zone 3. The small rosette of leaves is evergreen but not showy enough to make much of a display during the winter. This species of Rudbeckia is named for Olof Rudbeck the Elder, a Swedish botanist from the 17th century. If we translate fulgida from Latin, it means shining, gleaming, or glittering. These are wonderful adjectives to describe the glowing show of the flowers, which starts mid summer and lasts through fall. Because the Rudbeckia family has many visually similar members, common names can get a bit confusing. Rudbeckia fulgida is often called Black-eyed Susan like its cousin Rudbeckia hirta, but Orange Coneflower is a better description because its yellow flower petals have a bit more orange in them than hirta’s. This member of the Rudbeckia family is very adaptable, allowing it to tolerate a wide range of soil types. The masses of glowing Rudbeckia seen around town and in yards are usually the cultivar “Goldsturm”. Goldsturm was named perennial of the year in 1999 and since then has proven itself to be a garden mainstay.
