fulgida ssp.fulgida

Rudebeckia fulgida ssp.fulgida, yellow, 36-40", August-October. The species from which the famous Perennial Plant of The Year comes, is worthy and uncompared to its selection! This, with smaller, more narrow, yet oblong and rounded at their ends is much more branched that its clone. This also produces twice the amount of flowers at half the diameter of R.`Goldsturm'. The comparison I keep making is because the substitution of either is quite comparable to the retail, home owner, and gardening specialist! Is this you? If you asked for Rudebeckia fulgida `Goldsturm' and I was to state, "Yes, I have Rudebckis fulgida", upon receipt notice the selective difference? Although not a self sowing reliability as the seed requires a long and slow germination process, in the same light, there are clones of R.`Goldsturm' around that do not reflect the vegetative clone of the selection for which it was chosen! We are proud to offer the true strain from which sow from Gold Nugget seed from one of my father's original friend and acquaintance in horticulture, Klaus Jelitto, and Jelitto Seeds to whom I am friends with the subsequent generation George and mentor Allen Bush.
