    Black-eyed Susan is the best known of all wildflowers and it is also the easiest to grow. A single plant can produce an extravagant floral display over much of the summer and planted in masses it is simply stunning! A self-seeding biennial, it is not picky about soil conditions and will grow just about anywhere. A "green thumb" is not a prerequisite for success with the popular Rudbeckia hirta!
