About the Black-eyed Susan:

Rudbeckia hirta is a member of the sunflower family (Asteraceae) native to eastern and central North America. Recognizable by its golden-yellow ray florets surrounding a dark brown or black dome-shaped center, it thrives in prairies, open woodlands, roadsides, and meadows across much of the United States and southern Canada. The species name hirta refers to the rough, bristly hairs that cover its stems and leaves. A biennial or short-lived perennial, it has been widely cultivated and naturalized, becoming the state flower of Maryland. Black-eyed Susans are beloved by pollinators and have a long history in folk herbalism. Learn more about this iconic wildflower on Wikipedia and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
