I bought 3 young plants in buckets of this variety: two last autumn, one in spring. They have all developed beautiful foliage... but no flowers!! Is this normal? Should I wait for the second year? I should mention that they are planted in a sunny spot in the garden.

Description
The Rudbeckia fulgida 'Forever Gold' is a beautiful compact and very floriferous variety. From June to October, dozens of solar flowers, golden yellow with a black heart, are produced at the end of upright and sturdy stems. Place this plant in full sun, in good, dry garden soil, and your borders will light up for many months!
Essential in gardens, rudbeckias belong to the Asteraceae family, just like asters, centaureas, yarrows. The species Rudbeckia fulgida, also called orange coneflower, is native to the prairies of the Eastern U.S.A, where competition, full sun, and heat are abundant. They are therefore reliable and very robust plants in the garden. They produce large 'sun' flowers throughout the summer, which are actually inflorescences: the peripheral, yellow flowers attract pollinators, while the central, dark flowers produce seeds. The slender clump has dark green, elongated and pointed leaves.
The 'Forever Gold' variety is a selection that stands out for its fairly compact habit, which will not exceed 60 cm (24in) in height and width, but above all for being very uniform, forming a well-rounded ball. Very floriferous, it produces typical flowers from June to October, with a diameter of about 10 cm (4in), numerous and carried at the end of sturdy and branched stems.
Welcoming the 'Forever Gold' rudbeckia into your garden is not difficult: it requires a sunny position and is perfectly suited to normal garden soil, properly drained and not too poor, rather chalky. If an established clump can tolerate drought, the flowering will be more beautiful if the soil does not dry out during the summer. Required plant maintenance is very limited, and simply consists of removing faded flowers from time to time. However, you can also leave them for their autumnal appeal once dry, especially since they then serve as a good food source for birds.
You will achieve beautiful scenes by mixing this plant with other prairie plants, such as Asclepias tuberosa, the yellow centaurea (Centaurea macrocephala), a more exotic touch with the Kniphofia 'Pineapple Popsicle', and the tall grasses Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' or Panicum virgatum 'Heavy Metal'.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
