black-eyed Susan

Rudbeckia hirta 'Indian Summer'

Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta 'Indian Summer') is a hardy North American wildflower with bright yellow petals and a dark chocolate-brown center. These easy-to-grow perennials are drought-resistant and thrive in sunny areas with well-drained soils. Flowers appear from midsummer to early fall, while those in warmer climates may bloom in early spring. The bushy plants reach up to three feet tall and attract beneficial pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, adding color to any garden. They can be left to reseed and naturalize in the landscape or moved to new locations.
