Black-Eyed Susan - Rudbeckia hirta
Black-Eyed Susan, Rudbeckia hirta, is a classic wildflower that brings a cheerful burst of sunshine to any setting. Its bright yellow, daisy-like petals radiate around a prominent, dark brown to black central cone, creating a bold and eye-catching contrast. Its hairy, lance-shaped leaves add a touch of texture to its robust form. Historically, related Rudbeckia species were used in traditional practices for their potential immune-supporting qualities. In a garden or prairie, Black-Eyed Susan serves as a versatile and reliable addition. It excels in creating vibrant drifts, mixed borders, or as a cheerful filler in sunny areas. Its long bloom period and ability to self-seed make it a valuable and low-maintenance choice for adding a touch of wild beauty to the landscape.
