Rudbeckia Fulgida Var. Deamii
Black-eyed Susan
Deam’s Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia fulgida var. deamii) brings bright yellow flowers to the garden as summer begins to wind down. Nearly black centers sharpen the color of the petals, and the display can continue into the middle of fall.
The plant forms an upright clump with coarse, dark green foliage and noticeably hairy stems. Flowers can approach 3 inches across, making this a useful choice where a border needs a clear, repeated splash of late-season color.
Provide sun or light shade and soil that holds some moisture without staying waterlogged. Water new plants regularly while roots establish.
