Black Eyed Susan Seeds


Black Eyed Susan
IP114 Common Black-Eyed Susan ( Rudbeckia hirta )
This familiar, yet gorgeous golden-yellow wild flower is often seen growing in large colonies along highways, in fields, and in many natural settings. Black-Eyed Susan easily establishes from seeds, and it produces clumping, stiff, upright plants that are short-lived. Black Eyed Susan is native to the eastern United States and is probably the most common of all American wildflowers. They have the characteristic dark brown, domed center which is surrounded by bright, golden-yellow petals. Black-Eyed Susan thrives in most soils, in full sun, and they forgive neglect.
Grows perfectly in gardens, in borders and in flower beds, and it is a great summertime bloomer. Butterflies of many species are attracted to its bright blooms. It grows in all regions of North America in any soil from sand to clay, but it must have full sun. Black-eyed Susan care includes deadheading to prolong the bloom season, but the plants will re-seed themselves readily if you leave a few blooms to go to seed.
