American Gold Rush Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia 'American Gold Rush')

If you love the classic look of black-eyed Susans but want a cleaner plant that stays attractive through the season, American Gold Rush delivers. It forms a tidy mound and covers itself in golden blooms for weeks in midsummer through early fall. The flowers bring reliable color when many perennials pause, and the plant holds up well in humid, wet summers. Expect a strong pollinator draw and an easy, repeatable performance in beds, borders, and large plantings.

Distinctive Features

American Gold Rush stands out for its compact, domed habit and narrow, lightly fuzzy foliage that helps it resist the leaf spotting that can make other rudbeckias look tired by late summer. Bright golden-yellow daisies with dark centers rise above the foliage from July to September, often continuing with color into frost. Mature plants typically reach about 22 to 26 inches tall and spread 40 to 44 inches wide, creating a broad, full clump that reads as lush without being floppy.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun is best, but it also performs well in partial shade.
  • Soil: Average, well-drained soil is ideal, and established plants tolerate a range of garden soils.
  • Water: Water regularly during establishment, then provide moderate moisture, with some drought tolerance once rooted.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy in zones 4 to 9.
  • Spacing: Space plants about 30 to 40 inches apart to allow the broad clump to fill in without crowding.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use one or a small cluster as a midsummer focal point where its bright blooms can anchor a mixed perennial bed.
  • Mass Planting: Plant in drifts for a long, unified band of golden color that reads well from a distance.
  • Perennial Borders: Tuck into sunny borders for dependable late-season brightness and a full, mounded silhouette.
  • Pollinator Gardens: Add to bee and butterfly plantings for steady nectar and a strong seasonal presence.
  • Large Containers: Use in oversized pots where the compact, domed habit and long bloom season can carry summer displays.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and a cleaner look, or leave some late blooms for seasonal interest.
  • Watering: Deep water during dry spells, especially in the first season, to build a strong root system.
  • Fertilizing: Use a light spring feeding or compost topdressing, as rich soils can push soft growth.
  • Cutback: Cut stems back in late fall or early spring to refresh the clump and make room for new growth.
  • Dividing: Divide every few years in spring if the center thins, or to increase your planting.

Why Choose American Gold Rush Black-Eyed Susan?

  • Season-Long Presence: A broad, full clump stays attractive while delivering weeks of mid to late-season color.
  • Cleaner Foliage: Improved resistance to common leaf spotting helps the plant look better deep into summer.
  • Pollinator Value: Flowers consistently attract bees and butterflies when the garden needs them most.
  • Design Flexibility: Works equally well in modern mass plantings, cottage borders, and mixed perennial beds.
  • Reliable Hardiness: Returns dependably in zones 4 to 9 with straightforward care.

American Gold Rush is an easy way to get the classic black-eyed Susan look with a more polished, garden-ready finish. Give it sun, reasonable drainage, and room to spread, and it will reward you with a dense mound of golden flowers year after year. It is a strong choice for anyone who wants dependable late-season color that still looks intentional when summer weather is at its toughest.

Too small for the shown size.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black, Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
I usually would buy XL size but in this case I bought XXL thinking since it's cotton it might shrink. But when I tried the T-shirt it was too small. My older XL sized T-shirt has 2 1/2" larger total shoulder width and 3" wider body width. See attached pictures. Length was also a bit shorter by about 1/2". I will to return it.

Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking
Color: Green/Black
I love this watch despite the fact that it is really a toy. I love the look of the watch, I love how lite the weight of the watch is on my wrist, and it really does keep good time if you manage the solar charge properly. Other than looking cool on your wrist, this watch has absolutely no functions other than time keeping. The black plastic bezel is molded into the case and does not turn, so don't plan on using that. The watch has no light, the dial numbers are non-luminous and the hands are very limited in terms of luminosity. No buttons. All you can do is adjust the time and date by pulling out what used to be a winding stem in the good old days. The small tag on the strap with Geographic coordinates shown on it indicate the location of the old Timex manufacturing facility (SW of Waterbury, CT). I have a nice ledge at my bedroom window and it gets good western sun for a good part of the day regardless of the time of year. On this ledge you will find a half dozen solar powered watches (mostly Casio) properly aligned to maximize the charge they may receive each day. Note that the description for this Timex watch specifically states that a lightbulb won't charge this watch. You need direct sunlight for several hours if you want to get more than a 3-week charge into this watch. So, I'll leave you with a couple of tips, my friends; 1.) If you are looking for a first watch to give your outdoorsy oriented Son or Daughter, then give them this one. Why? Because it is cool looking, fairly well built, and it actually works, 2.) After you receive your Timex watch, be sure to keep the display mount it is packaged with. It makes a great fixture to mount your watch on for charging and allows you to maximize the position of the solar cells on the dial so that you can optimize charging time. Have Fun! Jimmy
