Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii
Orange Coneflower, Black-Eyed Susan Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
The principal differences between this variety and Rudbeckia fulgida var. fulgida are in the flowers, leaves, and in height. Var. sullivantii grows to about 2 feet. It has large flower heads, 2 to 3 inches across with somewhat lax petals or rays, on branched stems. Individual plants of var. sullivantii would have fewer but larger flower heads than those of var. fulgida. Also, the former has much larger leaves which extend further up the stem. Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii is the native plant from which the popular cultivar Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' has been derived. Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' is possibly more compact and has larger flowers but truthfully, any of these varieties are terrific garden plants. Var. fulgida might be the better choice for naturalizing less formal gardens or where a taller or later blooming plant is wanted. Cat# 1188
