    Details

    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.
