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.

Came in skeptical, but it's GREAT!
I read all the bad reviews I could on this thing and considered it an acceptable risk considering the price. Assembly was easy and the instructions were fair. Not amazing, but once you handle the edger, the gist is clear. I was skeptical overall that the horsepower and plastic guard weren't going to be enough. I ran it for nearly 45min stopping every 5 or so to check the blade and guard. It stayed tight and I was able to manually turn the blade to make sure it was working right. My front yard and sidewalk have been neglected for a few years. I would sometimes edge it out with the weed Wacker, but couldn't get it as clean as I wanted without breaking a LOT of line. When I was done, I noticed the guard had a lot of soil and grass buildup that I was able to take out easily with my fingers. There were a few times I scraped the sidewalk edge, but the blade is still solid and ready for more! I was surprised at the quality and as you're going over an area, it feels solid and not squirly or out of control. My uses are going to be mostly suburban maintenance on my own yard. If I had more land or something bigger, I would consider something larger. For my yard and purposes, this edger is going to work just fine! Did not notice any issues with the blade getting loose, but stayed aware of it. There is a lock nut that keeps it in place. I imagine over time and switching blades, this is going to lose its locking function, but I already see amazon has replacement blades that come with new lock nuts!

Amazon
Amazon is wonderful. Edger is not good. Just let you know. Black and Decker very good edger. I should have known. It’s worth trying Amazon. They returned it back quickly, money back. So, I bought from Amazon Black and Decker LE760FF, from them. It worked great, like B&D has the experience to build Edgers.

Works great, easy assembly and no issues!
Using the weedeater for edging was too hard, so I purchased this. It works great! It was easy to assemble and easy to use. My lines are perfect, but the size, durability, and power of this gem get the job done, and it's lightweight enough that I can easily maneuver it around the yard. I chose a corded one so I don't have to deal with battery life or charging.

Great Edger for the Price
I’ve had no issues at all with this lawn edger. For the price point and the amount of edging I need to do, it works great. It has plenty of power and gets the job done cleanly. Just make sure you have a long enough extension cord for your yard or projects. Overall, no complaints—solid product and an easy 5 stars from me.
