Black-Eyed Susan

Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is a short-lived perennial or biennial that delivers bold, golden blooms with dark centers—a cheerful presence in the garden and an important resource for pollinators. This 32-plant pack is perfect for jumpstarting color and habitat value in new native gardens, where longer-lived plants are still getting established.

Blooming in the first or second year, Black-Eyed Susan attracts butterflies, bees, and moths, offering both nectar and pollen through summer. Though it may fade after a few years, allowing it to self-seed will keep it coming back naturally in your planting.

It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, and its fast growth and eye-catching flowers make it a reliable favorite for borders, pollinator patches, and meadow-style plantings.

Why Choose a Tray of Black-Eyed Susan?

• Fast color – Early bloomer in new plantings.
• Pollinator-friendly – Supports bees, butterflies & moths.
• Self-seeding – Easy to maintain with minimal effort.

Plant Black-Eyed Susan in full sun, and enjoy a bright, low-maintenance native that brings quick beauty and essential pollinator support to your garden.

• Consider allowing seedlings from this short-lived biennial to take root year over year to allow it to persist in your yard.
