plant sale text: The Black-eyed-Susan produces dozens of showy yellow flowers. Its large dark green leaves and spreading habit make it very effective when planted in groups. This easily grown SE native perennial provides lots of color in the late-summer garden. This perennial is found growing in meadows and clearings. Many butterflies flock to its cheerful flowers for their nectar. Even after its flowers have faded, the attractive seed heads can be left to provide winter interest and seeds that feed the birds. 1988 N.C. Wildflower of the Year
