Rudbeckia ‘Juligold’
A bright, cheerful perennial with golden-yellow daisy flowers that bring a burst of sunshine from mid to late summer.
‘Juligold’ is a reliable and long-flowering rudbeckia, producing masses of warm golden blooms with dark centres that stand out beautifully in the border. It’s a real pollinator magnet, drawing in bees and butterflies, and works brilliantly for adding strong colour just as many earlier perennials begin to fade.
It forms a sturdy, clump-forming plant, typically reaching around 60–80cm tall with a similar spread. Best grown in full sun, it thrives in most soils as long as they are reasonably well-drained, and is tougher than it looks once established. Regular deadheading will keep it flowering for longer, and it can be cut back in autumn or left for a bit of winter structure.

Note for Isle of Wight planting

🌟 The Green Standard Tip
Plant in drifts or small groups rather than singly, rudbeckias always look better when they create a block of colour later in the season.
