Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is an upright branching biennial or short-lived perennial known for its ruggedness and ease of growth. Its adaptability makes it a resilient choice for any gardener. It's hardy in zones 3-9 and native to eastern and central North America.
The bright and cheerful flower with its many long yellow petals, about 2-3” surrounding a dark brown center, is a beacon for pollinators. Each flower head is born on the end of the long, rough stems that emerge from the basal rosette of bristly leaves. Great for naturalizing.
The plant blooms from mid-summer into fall; it has excellent nectar and pollen sources. The flowers attract butterflies, bees, wasps, beetles, and flies. Seed heads attract finches and other songbirds. It is a host plant for the checkerspot butterfly and the wavy-lined emerald caterpillars. It is deer and rabbit-resistant.
It does best in full sun but will tolerate dappled shade. It grows to 1-3’ high with a 1-2’ spread. It likes dry sandy loam, rich well-drained soil, but flowers best with moist soil.
Leaves are oblong, measuring 7” long and 2” wide. They are covered in short, stiff hairs. The plant has a basal rosette of leaves from which erect, stiff, unbranched, and bristly stems emerge.
The seeds are tested for germination by the State of Wisconsin and packaged for 2025. Whittlesey Creek Wildflower Farm is a licensed nursery grower and seed labeler in Ashland, Wisconsin, Bayfield County.
