PETITTI Rudbeckia Spotlight | Grow Black Eyed Susan for Pollinators, Deer Resistance & Cut Flowers

Vigorous, productive and reliable, Black-eyed Susans are easily identified in the garden with their golden yellow petals surrounding a deep black eye. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about growing Rudbeckia in your garden. This no-fuss, powerhouse of a perennial needs only full sun & average soil to bloom prolifically summer through fall. Even better, this native plant family offers great deer & rabbit resistance, and some varieties self-sow vigorously to create a large, full, striking golden patch in next year's garden. ‘Goldsturm’ was voted Perennial Plant of the Year in 1999. Since then, several new, improved varieties have been developed, including 'Viette's Little Suzy', 'American Gold Rush', and Minibeckia™ Flame®.

Good Morning Noelle: Thank you for your informative video on Black Eyed Susans. Definately would consider planting such a profuse bloomer & beauty in my garden. We had alot of rain with a tornado watch yesterday and my newly planted daylilies are feeling happy. Have a good week ahead & always appreciate your great knowledge in the gardening world!

I live in NE Oklahoma out in the country and I just have them coming up wild. I have never planted any seeds or plants. They found their way to some of my flower garden's. I absolutely love Blackeyef Susan. And also we have Trumpet vine growing wild along the roadsides. I have some growing in my yard. Watch out they are aggressive. I bought 2 barefoot trumpet vines, probably 20 years ago. I have to pull them up all over the yard every year. But I dig them up and plant them along my fence line. Thank you so much for showing us all of the black eyed Susan's. I didn't realize their so many varieties. And I really appreciate all the wonderful information. I absolutely love your video's and channel. You are so sweet.❤

I look forward to these videos....I'm in texas but the great variety and your presentations always get the 'garden juices' flowing. Have really enjoyed all of these but especially the ones on Ornamental grasses, Echinacea, Rudbeckia, etc etc. The Spotlight ones I like especially because it allows me to focus on one plant. I have ordered several ORDERS with a multitude of plants from 7 gal down to quarts (?).

Mine grow fine in heavy clay and semi-shade.

We need a nice list of which ones are perennial. Tired of wasting money buying on the internet, seeds that don't give the full name or if its perennial.

How many gallons of water is 1 inch of rain per plant?
