🌼 October’s Plant of the Month: Black-eyed Susan!

You may know her for her golden petals and dark centers, but there’s much more to Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) than meets the eye.

A familiar Florida wildflower, Black-eyed Susan has a long history of traditional use among Indigenous peoples across its native range. Its roots, flowers, and leaves have been prepared in many ways and valued for a variety of traditional applications.

And she’s not just beautiful. Black-eyed Susan is drought-tolerant, moderately salt-tolerant, loved by pollinators, and right at home in a sunny Florida garden. 🌿

This month, we’re digging a little deeper into Rudbeckia hirta and exploring the traditional knowledge, botanical beauty, and many uses of this cheerful autumn wildflower.

🌼 Head to our website to check out the full profile and get to know Black-eyed Susan a little better this month!
