Black-Eyed Susan

Black-Eyed Susan is a popular North American wildflower belonging to the Asteraceae family. Renowned for its bright, cheerful golden-yellow petals surrounding a prominent dark brown or black central cone, this resilient plant thrives in sunny meadows, prairies, and garden borders. Typically grown as a short-lived perennial, biennial, or annual depending on the variety and climate, it blooms abundantly throughout the summer and well into the autumn months. Highly attractive to pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and various beneficial insects, Black-Eyed Susan is exceptionally hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and remarkably easy to cultivate, making it a foundational choice for native gardens, wildlife habitats, and cottage landscapes worldwide.
