Rudbeckia fulgida vs Rudbeckia hirta

I'm a bit confused...please help clarify this:

I'm a Hort. student (Greenhouse/Nursery) and on this weeks list in my fall plant ID class is listed the perennial Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldstrum', common name listed as Goldstrum Rudbeckia. Now when I google the name every source returns the common name of Black-Eyed Susan. One source (I'll post below) says does not come true from seed.

I was under the understanding that Black-Eyed Susan's were R. hirta, a annual, biennial or short-lived perennial depending on geographic location???

Thanks for your help!
