Which Rudbeckia?

11 years ago

Hello everyone: As I stated in a previous post I decided to try WSing some Rudbeckias last winter. I have already posted pics. of the 'Glorioso Daisy', but here is a pic. of the other one I grew. The seeds came in a trade and were labeled Rudbeckia goldsturm and I got only one seedling which has bloomed like this.

When I google Rudbeckia goldsturm, it tells me the correct name is Rudbeckia fulgida goldsturm, but the blooms are single. As you can see, these flowers are double/semidouble. The foliage has the hairs, but I am wondering if anyone knows the correct name. Thank you.

I don't know the name, but it's a beautiful flower! I'd definitely be saving seed from that one.

Thanks Martha and Ladyrose for having a look. Martha, I think I will take your advice and save seeds because it is a beautiful flower. It would go nicely with some tall Shasta Daisies which I have yet to plant out. Maybe someone will come along with the correct name. That's just one of my little eccentricities.
