Rudbeckia, commonly known as Black-eyed Susan, is a standout summer perennial that’s perfect for gardens in Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland.
Here in Virginia, this hardy plant thrives in our warm summer climate, producing abundant daisy-like flowers in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and even deep reds and burnt umbers. Each flower is capped by a large, dark seed head that the bees and butterflies love!
For the best results, plant Rudbeckia in full sun, as even partial shade can limit its flower production. These cheerful blooms also make excellent cut flowers to brighten your home. Among the many varieties of Rudbeckia, the ‘Goldstrum’ stands out—not only for its vibrant blooms but also for being native to Virginia, making it a natural choice for local gardeners.
