This black-eyed Susan is the official Maryland State Flower and is native to most of the contiguous United States. Considered a short-lived perennial, it happily self-sows to ensure its presence year after year, making it perfect for the meadow-like native, butterfly, or pollinator garden. In early to mid-summer, flowers with golden-yellow ray petals and a dark brown cone appear on 2-4' tall upright foliage. Flowers are 2-3" across and will continue into late summer, with deadheading. End of season cones can be left to feed birds and for seed dispersal. Tolerant of drought and clay or sandy soils. Plant 18" apart.
Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun
USDA Hardiness Zones: 3-8

We carefully schedule shipments to ensure your plants spend as little time in transit as possible. Most orders ship via UPS Monday through Wednesday, directly from our greenhouses. For nearby destinations, we may occasionally ship Thursday or Friday when delivery is expected before the weekend. Orders that would otherwise remain in transit over the weekend will be held until the following shipping week.
Each plant is carefully wrapped in protective brown paper and packed with excelsior wood wool, a biodegradable material made from thin fibers of aspen wood. This eco-friendly packaging helps keep your plants secure during transit while being kind to the environment.
