Rudbeckia Fulgida "Goldsturm"

By Mwillis
One of the perennials I bought last year in my drive to add more visual interest to my garden was a Rudbeckia called "Goldsturm".

I put it in a large terracotta pot, rather than in a border, so that I would be able to move it around whenever I wanted. This has proved to be a wise decision because it seems to be a very vigorous plant - one of those that will take over your garden if you give it half a chance, by the look of it. In this next picture you can't even see the pot!
