Rudbeckia (Black Eyed Susan)

Rudbeckia, widely known as Black Eyed Susan, is one of the most reliable and cheerful perennials for late summer and fall. Its bright golden petals surround a deep chocolate center, creating a warm and sunny look that lights up borders even as the seasons begin to change. The blooms appear for many weeks and keep the garden colorful when other plants start to fade. This plant thrives in full sun and well drained soil and handles heat and dry spells with ease. It is perfect for mixed borders, prairie style gardens, pollinator plantings, and anywhere you want strong color and dependable performance. Loved by bees and butterflies and very easy to grow, Rudbeckia brings long lasting beauty and a welcoming glow to any garden.
