Black-Eyed Susan is a popular wildflower that is preferred by bees. The flowers actually are two-toned in color when viewed under UV light—helping attract pollinators to the nectar and pollen in the center of the flower.
Great for a splash of yellow throughout the summer, borders, mixed into beds, wild or native gardens, good for cut flowers. Good for prairie restoration.
