Black Eyed Susan - Seeds & Bare Root Plant
Rudbeckia hirta
A classic wildflower native to much of North America, Black-Eyed Susan offers a vibrant splash of golden yellow to any landscape. Interestingly, this hardy plant can act as a biennial or perennial depending on growing conditions. Even when short-lived, it readily self-seeds and spreads, forming cheerful clusters in fields, gardens, and meadows. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, Black-Eyed Susan also thrives in damper soils, making it a versatile choice. In summer, its bright blooms attract tiny bees, and in fall, birds feast on the seed heads. Growing up to 3 feet tall, it’s the perfect wildflower for the front of your garden beds.
