10/01/23 — GrowerTalks magazine does a deep dive behind the breeding of Rudbeckia ‘American Gold Rush’. Topics include the effect Septoria fungus has had on ‘Goldsturm’ and the landscaping industry, and the secret to the disease resistance of ‘American Gold Rush’. Another interesting point of discussion: those beautiful golden domes.

GrowerTalks magazine has chronicled standards and practices for the ornamental horticultural industry since 1937, focusing on green goods producers and buyers. It was founded by George J. Ball who was also the founder of the famous Ball Horticultural Company. A prolific writer as well, he was zealous about the sharing of knowledge. According to Ball Publishing, “It’s widely accepted that GrowerTalks truly got growers communicating with one another.”
