Rudbeckia fulgida var. deamii - DEAM'S BLACK-EYED SUSAN (clumps, not spreading & very drought tolerant)

Deam's Black-eyed Susan - this may seem like just another rudbeckia in a row, but no no! This variety can beat the most popular Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm', lets quote North Creek Nurseries :

"While there may be a bounty of black-eyed susan on the market, what makes Rudbeckia fulgida var. deamii a dream is its ability to wrap strength, beauty, disease and pest resistance all into one neat package. This variety won the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993 and if you grow it, you'll soon understand why!"
