Fens, sedge meadows, calcareous springy banks, riverside swamps, meadows, and other wet (sometimes rocky) ground.
Our plants are all var. sullivantii (C. L. Boynton & Beadle) Cronquist, sometimes recognized as Rudbeckia sullivantii. The commonly grown cultivar ‘Goldsturm’ is derived from this species, but almost all of our collections are wild plants from native wetland settings.
