New Flower/Plant of the Month: Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia)

This is another perennial plant for your garden that will flower from summer to fall. There are several varieties with different shapes, size and shades of yellow. When it goes dormant for the winter, it will perform two functions; the seeds located in the center of the flower will serve as food for the birds and the leftover seeds will drop to the ground to produce more plants in the spring for you for FREE. You can use Rudbeckia as a back-border plant; since it grows about 4’ H. You can also cut as many flowers as you want to create beautiful flower arrangements for your home or to take to parties as gifts to the host. Therefore, if you do not have it in your garden yet, go to the garden center and purchase just one. In few years you will have a stunning yellow garden just like mine, smile!
