Black-eyed susan is an iconic native perennial that is quick to establish, drought tolerant, and a pollinator favorite. With its golden-yellow petals and dark chocolate centers, this wildflower is a quintessential American beauty—bright, bold, and built for resilience. From early summer through fall, this plant offers vivid color and cover to the meadow, making way for slower growing perennials in years to come. This plant is critical for early meadow establishment.
