This bright burst of yellow is a classic summer flower that is very valuable to pollinators. It does well in disturbed areas and home landscapes and is easy to grow. As a biennial, it completes its life cycle (blooms and produces seeds) in its second year. It readily reseeds, and birds will eat the seeds.
Although it is a biennial, Black-eyed Susans can persist in gardens for years because of how easily it self seeds | Ants don’t like to walk among the tiny hairs that cover the plant’s stem, thereby protecting the plant
