Rudbeckia hirta (Black-eyed Susan) Seed
Description
Rudbeckia hirta, or Black-eyed Susan, is an iconic wildflower native to North America. Known for its bright yellow petals surrounding a dark, dome-shaped center, it blooms from summer to early fall. This biennial or short-lived perennial is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators and serves as a larval host for some butterfly species. Its seeds are a food source for songbirds during the winter months.
Black-eyed Susan prefers full sun and well-drained soils but is adaptable to poor or sandy soils, making it a versatile choice for gardens and restoration projects. It is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it a low-maintenance favorite in prairie plantings, pollinator gardens, and roadside restorations.
