Rudbeckia
Rudbeckias, or "black-eyed Susan's" are easy-to-grow flowers featuring golden, daisylike flowers with black or purple centers. They are bright, summer-blooming flowers that give the best effect when planted in masses in a border or wildflower meadow. In general, rudbeckias are relatively drought-tolerant and disease-resistant.
