Notes

'Amarillo Gold' rudbeckia (Rudbeckia 'Amarillo Gold') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. It is drought tolerant, so it needs little care once settled.

Pairs well with Indian grass, Hairy aster, and Nodding onion.
