This thin-petalled, yellow bloom will bring color and energy to your garden in summer and fall! And the Sweet Black-Eyed Susan is low-maintenance which makes it great for all gardeners, including beginners.

Bees and butterflies love this buttery yellow flower. The elegant yellow of the Sweet Black-Eyed Susan appears as a perfect perch to bees with their ability to see UV light. This flower makes a great symbiotic partner to keep the ecosystem surrounding your garden thriving with pollinated plants!

Pair this pretty flower with other wildflowers or milkweed to keep the butterflies returning day after day for a tasty meal. And add a bench nearby to watch the show with this un-bee-lievable beauty.

Plant the Sweet Black-Eyed Susan in well-drained, medium to low-moisture, soil, for best performance. Like most natives, this plant will thrive in your yard. And in some locations, it may thrive a little "too well." We take the worry out of the experience when you choose plants from Nature Hills.
