Black-Eyed Susan
Rudbeckia hirta
Black-Eyed Susans are a biennial or short-lived perennial. This means it will have impressive flower power in the early years of a planting, a real benefit when other plants take a few more years to get going, but can naturally fade once they do. To keep this short-lived Black-Eyed Susan going in the garden, allow it to self-seed. Attracts butterflies, moths, and bees.
