Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
Size: 2-3 ft tall x 1-2 ft wide
Bloom Time: Summer, Fall
I am an annual or short lived perennial that will look lovely in your butterfly garden. I may disappear after blooming, but if you sprinkle my seeds in the garden after drying, I will return the next spring. Various birds love to snack on my dried seed heads and the bees and butterflies love my nectar when blooming. I am a quintessential wildflower that you won’t regret planting.
