If you ask us, everyone could use some more cheerful Black-Eyed Susans in their summertime display. These widespread wonders blanket open fields beautifully, making them one of the most popular wildflowers grown in North America. Often characterized by luminous, golden-yellow petals, the blossoms are daisy-like with dark brown central cones that are held atop coarse, rough stems. They appreciate some afternoon shade and occasional watering but are otherwise very easy to maintain. Such a small price to pay for a season of prolific flowering, Plus, the brilliant blooms make outstandingly long-lasting cut flowers!
