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.

How did I watch TV without one?
Color: blue-glow
We stayed at an AirBnB recently and the TV was set up to use the tiny, thin AppleTV remote. We have the same remote and I constantly lose it or drop it or brush the touchpad when I don’t mean to. When I saw that they had wrapped their remote in this thin silicone “case”, I went on Amazon and bought one immediately. It arrived right after we got home and took all of 10 seconds to put on the remote. It fits snuggly, but not so much that you have to worry about damaging the remote putting the case on or taking it off. It doesn’t cover any of the buttons or the plug and gives the remote a bit more heft. The ribbing and “stickiness” of the silicone makes it easier to pick up with my big fingers. Now the remote is easier to use (partly because it’s easier to pick up and to hold). It’s also harder to lose, because it makes the remote feel a bit larger, and (ours at least) is in a cool, translucent, day-glo green, that glows in the dark (sort of). Win-win-win...

What I should have bought long ago
Color: Black
Finally! The remote isn’t constantly slipping out of people’s hands or falling inside the couch. I should have thought to buy this years ago. Comfortable- yes. Grippy - yes. Doesn’t get lost anymore. It’s durable/well made. It was the color I expected and looked better than I expected. Great product and price!

Would be 5 stars if it glowed brighter
Color: blue-glow, Color: blue-glow
SHORT VERSION Yes buy this! Just don’t expect it to glow very bright. COLOR I thought about getting the Black, Navy, or Mint Green, but instead I got the ZBlue bc of the glow-in-the-dark feature. I like it, but it doesn’t glow that bright when exposed to a light bulb. You can see the pic I posted that’s almost black, that’s after holding it next to a bright light for a few minutes. But when I exposed it to the sunshine through a window for a few minutes, it glowed MUCH brighter (see the other glow pic). But, how are you going to expose it to the sun when its dark outside? When my wife first saw the color, she said “that’s stupid” haha. But I think it’s growing on her. For these photos, I put it on a white background, with DeWalt Yellow and Kobalt Blue next to it so you can see it’s true color. I wouldn’t buy this for its glowing feature, just buy the color you like. Even at night, there’s usually too much ambient light in the room, from the TV or lamps, for this faint glow to be seen. FIT & FEEL It feels like super soft silicone rubber, I like it. Feels very high quality. The remote slid in really easy, and I thought it might be too big, and the remote would fall out, but it hasn’t. The texture feels great, and the thicker pads on top and bottom help you hold onto the remote. It doesn’t slide between the couch cushions anymore, and that’s really why I bought it! An added bonus is that now I can immediately see which side is the top of the remote! Before, I sometimes hit the wrong button bc I wouldn’t realize I was holding the remote upside down. Overall, I’m definitely glad I bought this.

Fantastic Fintie: Saving My Apple Remote
Not a lot to say about this little case other than I absolutely love it! The red is a great color and somewhat matches the general color theme of my TV area. I don't have the smallest hands around and often worried about dropping this (very expensive) remote. I was so afraid of my Apple TV remote slipping and breaking, getting lost, etc that I actually wrapped it up in a microfiber cloth whenever I wasn't using it. On top of that I often picked it up upside-down which is easy for me to do as I'm partially blind and didn't always feel for either the volume button, top sensor, or lightning port to orient it properly. I'd be swiping on the bottom, thinking it's the top, until I realized with chagrin that I had been touching the inert piece of plastic that is the bottom third of the remote's face for the last five seconds while wondering why my Apple TV wasn't talking to me or making any noise the way it was supposed to. This case solves all of these problems. The remote is easy to hold onto, I don't feel like it'll get easily lost, and I never mess up its orientation anymore. Nice job, Finty. Edit as of March 10, 2020 I saw the helpful votes this review has received, so I figured I'd post an update for you guys! I always appreciate reviews that keep potential buyers up to date, giving them an idea of how a product holds up over time. I got this little case 3 years ago. It's still doing great! It still serves its purpose beautifully and I am very happy with it! It's traveled with me and my Apple TV from home to a college dorm room and to vacations too! It hasn't stretched out and still holds the remote secure. Visually, it makes the remote easier to find and tactually it's easier for me to orient so I don't swipe ineffectually on the wrong end of the remote like I did before.
