Details

The Black-Eyed Susan is possibly the most symbolic of the classic North American wildflowers. This flower is extremely resilient, and though it clearly prefers sun, it tolerates part shade as well. Native to the eastern United States, it has been largely naturalized throughout the rest of the country.
