Black Eyed Susan, Orange Coneflower
Rudbeckia hirta, Rudbeckia Fulgida
We carry two different varieties Hirta & Fulgida. Rudbeckia fulgida will form a nice, large clump in the garden with a more-mounded growth habit than Rudbeckia Hirta. The leaves of the fulgida variety are usually more rounded in appearance, especially near the base of the plant, and the stem and leaves are less hairy than those of the hirta variety. The Fulgida also tends to be a very hardy perennial while the Hirta is a biennial but drops seeds to regrow like a perennial.
Wildlife Benefits: This pollinator powerhouse attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects throughout its long blooming season. Its seed heads are a valuable food source for birds, especially finches, during the fall and winter.
Medicinal Benefits: Black-Eyed Susan has a history of use in traditional medicine for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Native American tribes used it in teas and poultices to soothe colds, reduce swelling, and promote wound healing.
Native Status: Native to the United States, Black-Eyed Susan plays an important role in supporting local ecosystems and is perfectly suited to Georgia’s gardens.
Pollinator Friendliness: A must-have for pollinator gardens, its long-lasting blooms provide ample nectar for bees, butterflies, and other insects, while its seed heads nourish birds later in the season.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 1–3 feet
Spacing: 12–18 inches
Sun/Shade: Thrives in Full Sun but tolerates Partial Shade
How to Grow: Black-Eyed Susan prefers well-drained soil but is remarkably adaptable to clay or sandy soils. Water regularly during the first year to establish roots, and deadhead blooms to encourage prolonged flowering. Allow seed heads to remain in the fall for natural reseeding and wildlife benefits.
Brighten your garden with the bold and beautiful Black-Eyed Susan—a native treasure that brings vibrant color, ecological value, and effortless charm to any landscape.
Available in 2.5 inch, 4.25 inch (quart) and gallon pots.
