Rudbeckia or Black-eyed Susans
Rudbeckia or black eyed Susans are a long lasting perennial plant. They grow about 18 to 36 inches high in full sun and will tolerate dry conditions. Blooms appear about mid summer and last right through to fall. The plant will attract butterfiles. Leaving the seedpods on the plant over the winter will provide food for the birds. The plant will also self seed itself. Seeds
Let bloom dry out on plant. After the flower petals fall off, pick the seed head. Running your thumb nail along the seedpod will give you the tiny rudbekia seeds. I also just tuck the seedpods in among the remaining stems of the plants and it will reseed itself the following year. Print a seed packet for rudbekia seeds.
