    Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is a hallmark of prairies and meadows with an extravagant floral display! A biennial, it is easy to grow from seed. Transplants bloom the year they are planted, and will self-sow onto open soil. Butterflies are frequent visitors to this bright sunny wildflower! Hardy to Zones 3 - 10.
