Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta):
Rudbeckia hirta, commonly known as Black-eyed Susan, thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil, showcasing bright yellow, daisy-like flowers from early summer to fall. This drought-tolerant perennial reaches heights of 2 to 3 feet, making it ideal for borders, meadows, and naturalized areas. Its sturdy stems withstand wind and rain, and it attracts butterflies and pollinators. Black-eyed Susan adds vibrant color to gardens and complements other native species like coneflowers and coreopsis. Low-maintenance and adaptable, it enhances biodiversity while providing seasonal interest in the landscape.
