Black Eyed Susan in all its Glory

A single Black Eyed Susan flower.

 

The photo to the right is of a Black-Eyed Susan flower taken at twilight from the bush above. The light shows the purple that is in the cone. This flower is older than the one above it. Both the cone in the center and the petals change as the flower matures. The cone gets taller and the markings on the petals become darker.

Upside down Black Eyed Susan

Heard of pineapple upside down cake? Well, how about an inside out, upside down Black Eyed Susan. This oddly formed Rudbeckia is one of the many that grows from seed that has fallen to the ground the previous fall. Most of them look perfectly normal and are very welcome in the dry difficult garden they sprout in each year.

 

Black-Eyed Susan is one of the six plants chosen to be in our 
English Cottage Herb Garden Six Pack.

Rudbeckia hirta Moreno, pictured on the left, is a newer version of the traditional Black Eyed Susan. This little gem is perfect for smaller gardens that  want a lot of flowers in a small space. The bush is usually about a foot tall and two feet wide. Like its parent above, it blooms all summer long.

This Bicolor Daisy is sure to become one of your favorites. Because of its size, it also makes a nice choice for a container. The flowers can be cut and used for arrangements. They last about five days in a vase.
