Landscape Uses and Maintenance – Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)

The Black Eyed Susan is fast-growing, low-maintenance, and will become an instant hit in your garden. Cut and come again: enjoy consistent blooms day after day from your cutting flower garden! They bloom from spring through early fall, when most other flowers are already finished blooming.

Place some in your garden as a great addition to the front of the border or your cottage garden. Make a bold statement in a pollinator or butterfly garden or allow their wilder side to shine in meadow inspired, naturalistic style gardens. Pair with coneflower, joe pye, and garden phlox for a winning combination that will turn heads when neighbors walk by your front yard.

This plant loves sunny days! Give it full sun to have it be its happiest; it thrives best in the sun. However, it can tolerate some shade.

The beauty and easy care of this plant will truly win you over and have you singing its praises. Give it full sun, space to grow, and water when dry. No need to water if raining regularly without drought. This plant does not require fertilizer. You can add compost or leaf mold to the soil when planting with a slow-release fertilizer.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Black Eyed Susan will attract many pollinators to your garden, including bees, wasps, and butterflies. It is the larval host to butterflies including the Bordered Patch and Gorgone Checkerspot. Leave the stems of this plant to overwinter to help increase the populations of these butterflies.

This is a very hardy perennial that adds bright pops of color to the landscape, bouquets and floral arrangements with its vibrant yellow petals and dark brown centers.
