The rarely-offered, golden-yellow bird of paradise! After 20 years of hand pollination and selection by the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, a small quantity of seed became available in 1994. Since then T&M has tried to introduce this variety into its catalogue. Patience usually pays off and finally we can offer more gardeners the chance of growing and seeing these flamboyant golden-yellow and purple blooms. Plants can take many years to flower from seed. Height: 12-18m (4-6ft)
Attractive, golden-green foliage with a distinct aniseed fragrance, making a vibrant contrast to the compact lavender-blue flower spikes. Adds interest to borders and containers, as well as attracts wildlife to your garden. Fragrant and excellent in borders or containers.
A dynamic border and container plant with large, beautifully double, frilled flowers of canary yellow. The many flowers are earlier than most varieties and will continue through to frosts. Makes a stunning conservatory plant too. Flowers mid to late summer. Height 140cm (5 feet)
The latest addition to the acclaimed SunBelievable™ range is just as spectacular as its sister-plant, Sunflower 'Brown Eyed Girl?. This compact, bushy, multi-branching cultivar is smothered with cheery clear-yellow blooms with contrasting dark centres.
A truly handsome daffodil producing traditional, large trumpets on tall, sturdy stems. A classic and popular variety, Daffodil 'King Alfred' makes a cheerful display in borders or naturalised in bold drifts beneath trees. An excellent variety for cutting for a vase indoors.
Gooseberry ?Giggles Gold? produces large, voluptuous, golden fruits with smooth skins and a deliciously sweet flavour. This robust variety makes a fine addition to the kitchen garden or allotment, producing generous crops in summer.
Description for Rudbeckia fulgida var sullivantii 'Goldsturm' not available
Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm' is a neat daisy which erupts into bloom from July to October adding warm, end of season colour to your borders. Also known as Black-Eyed-Susan, 'Goldsturm' produces masses of uniform, golden-yellow flowers, each with a rich brown centre that will light up the garden like sunshine. A compact form of the garden coneflower, the sunflower-like blooms are carried on branching, upright stems which makes them great for cut flowers as well, so you can bring the colour indoors. Totally hardy, even in the harshest winters where it will die back underground, Rudbeckia Goldsturm will flower its socks off, getting bigger and better each year and you'll get months of blooms which look fabulous whether in a container or at the front of the flower border. Growing to just 80cm tall, the toothed, hairy leaves form a compact mound which adequately fills those gaps in borders which appear as the seasons progresses, providing a green backdrop for late spring and summer flowers. Easy to grow and particularly robust, this delightful rudbeckia is low maintenance too as it won't need staking and in late winter the stems just need a quick chop back to ground level - or if you want to encourage wildlife leave them on to provide a natural mulch and home for overwintering insects and invertebrates. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence and it will return year after year getting bigger and better for many years to come. Supplied as a pack of 3 x 9cm pots, pot ready to plant out.
