Notes:<\/strong> Rudbeckia fulgida is the common perennial \u201cblack eyed susan\u201d sometimes referred to as \u201corange coneflower\u201d. It is native to the eastern United States and grows in moist to moderately dry soils in open woods, glades and thickets. It\u2019s dependable profuse display of yellow coneflower blooms make it\u00a0a somewhat ubiquitous but still very worthy member of any bed. It always performs well in our hot summers and it\u2019s very adaptable to different soil and light situations. The bloom period generally starts in June but deadheading can encourage one or more successive blooms. R. fulgida does spread by rhizomes and will gradually spread but it is easy to divide and control. The divided clumps transplant well, and the blooms make good cut flowers. Plant them en masse as a border or in a cottage, meadow, or a native plant garden setting. \u00a0Echinacea purpurea is a very nice companion coneflower for R. fulgida.\u00a0 Pollinators, butterflies and other wildlife like R. fulgida.
\nThere are a number of varieties and cultivars of R. fulgida. The most common cultivar is \u2018Goldsturm\u2019 which is a very reliable one to go with but there are many others and natural varieties to consider too. The differences between the varieties is fairly subtle and any of the varieties will work well in your landscape and gardens.<\/p>\n
