Rudbeckia hirta

The Black-eyed Susan, also known as the Common Black-eyed Susan or Brown-eyed Susan, is such a delightful wildflower! This cheerful plant is often seen as an annual or a short-lived perennial, bringing joy across its range. Its bright yellow, daisy-like blooms—typically 2-3 inches wide—feature charming dark centers that really make them stand out. You can find these lovely flowers perched atop stems that reach 1-2 feet high, surrounded by scattered oval leaves that add to their character with a slightly bristly texture. It is a host plant to several moths and butterflies, and its blooms attract butterflies and other pollinators.

In its first year, this native prairie biennial creates a lovely rosette of leaves, and then it graces us with beautiful flowers in the second year. Its hair-covered surfaces give it a unique feel that's pleasantly rough.
