Tall stems and big yellow daisy-like flowers with blackish purple centers make Black Eyed Susan a real garden standout. Easy to grow and drought-tolerant, it's perfect as a massed planting on slopes. Useful as cover against foundations or unsightly walls and fences. Creates an eye-catching background with Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) and Mexican Hat (Ratibida columnaris). Also does well in a woodland garden with Mountain Phlox (Linanthus grandiflorus). Gorgeous cut flower.
