About This Plant

Rudbeckia American Gold Rush (Black Eyed Susan), 'Black Eyed Susan', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.

Black-Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) are tough prairie perennials with golden-yellow daisy flowers and dark central cones from summer through fall.

Full sun suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 9. Tolerates a range. Pollinator and goldfinch favorites.

For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
