Black-eyed Susan-is easy to grow, thriving in any but soggy soils. It does best in full sun but tolerates partial shade. It also bears up under hot, humid summers and, once established, will tolerate drought. The plant spreads by underground stems called rhizomes to form large clumps. This plant provides nectar for pollinators. Songbirds, especially American goldfinches, eat the seeds in the fall.
Host plant to Wavy-lined Emerald and to Silvery Checkerspot. Deer and Drought Resistant!
