Abstract

The new and distinct hardy perennial plant, Rudbeckia ‘Treasure Trove’, has dense, rounded, mound habit with extensively-branched, predominately strong upright stems. Freely flowering habit beginning in early summer and continuing for about 6 to 7 weeks and repeating if deadheaded. Clean foliage shows significant resistance to Angular Leaf Spot and Septoria fungal leaf spot diseases. Inflorescences are in a capitulum with a single row of golden-yellow ray florets and central disk florets of greyed-purplish coloration. The new plant has a strong garden performance and is useful in the landscape en masse, as an accent, in containers or as cut flowers.
