Description
Black-eyed Susan is a favorite summer-blooming native wildflower that flourishes in New York State's fields and meadows. It can be found growing in all areas of the United States, except the Southwest.
There are approximately twenty five native North American Rudbeckia species, with eight native species in the Northeast. Rudbeckia hirta was originally native to the dry prairies of the Midwest. One feature that contributes to the drought tolerant nature of this plant include a root system that is adapted to maximize water absorption. Another is that the hairy leaves and stems of the plant are designed to minimize water loss and the species name Hirta, or hirt in Latin, means hairy. The genus name is in honor of Swedish botanist, Olaus Rudbeck (1660-1740).
