Black-Eyed Susan

Black-Eyed Susan is a vibrant, hardy perennial wildflower known for its striking yellow petals and dark, cone-shaped centers. Native to North America, this popular wildflower blooms from mid-summer to fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its bright, cheerful flowers make it a perfect addition to garden beds, meadows, or naturalized areas. Black-Eyed Susan thrives in a variety of soil types, from sandy to loamy, and performs well in full sun to partial shade. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

This resilient flower is also prized for its ability to self-seed and spread, creating natural-looking, colorful drifts in landscapes. Black-Eyed Susan is often used in wildflower mixes, pollinator gardens, and erosion control plantings due to its strong root system and ability to stabilize soil.
