Black eyed Susan Rudbeckia hirta
An upright perennial growing 30–100 cm (12–39 in) tall by 30–45 cm (12–18 in) wide. It has alternate, mostly basal leaves 10–18 cm long, covered by coarse hair, with stout branching stems and daisy-like, composite flower heads appearing in late summer and early autumn. In the species, the flowers are up to 10 cm (4 in) in diameter, with yellow ray florets circling conspicuous brown or black, dome-shaped cone of many small disc florets.
For summer bedding schemes, borders, containers, wildflower gardens, prairie-style plantings and cut flowers. Black Eyed Susan are very easy to grow. The plants like full sun. They will do well in average soils and even poor soils. They also tolerate dry soil conditions
The black-eyed Susan which also traditionally symbolizes “Justice” makes a very nice cut-flower with a vase life up to 10 days
Butterflies are attracted to Rudbeckia hirta when planted in large color-masses, creating a beautiful spectacle
The plant also is a traditional Native American medicinal herb in several tribal nations;believed in those cultures to be a remedy, among other things, for colds, flu, infection, swelling and (topically, by poultice) for snake bite (although not all parts of the plant are edible)
These plants are also deer and drought tolerant.
Plants can also be propagated division. Dig up plants, separate them into clumps, and replant the clumps
The bright gold daisy-like petals of 'Goldsturm' rudbeckia have a distinct brown cone that highlight any summer garden from July into September.
