Rudbeckia fulgida, commonly known as the Orange Coneflower or Common Perennial Black-Eyed Susan, is a hardy, native North American wildflower prized for its vibrant blooms and adaptability. Growing 2-3 feet tall, this perennial boasts sturdy, upright stems that are adorned with 3-4 inch wide flowers. The distinctive blooms feature golden-yellow ray petals that surround a prominent, dark brown central cone, creating the classic "black-eyed susan" appearance. Rudbeckia fulgida thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it a reliable and low-maintenance addition to gardens, meadows, and naturalized landscapes. In addition to its showy floral display, which spans from mid-summer through fall, this Rudbeckia species is also prized for attracting a variety of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and birds that feed on the seeds. The combination of vibrant color, adaptability, and ecological value has solidified Rudbeckia fulgida as a beloved, staple perennial. |

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!
Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.
Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

Membership is free, but — since we rely on delivery and local pick-up — you have to live near one of our hubs (or be willing to drive to a site to pick them up). If you live farther away, and would like to help us bring the club to your neighbors, please email helpusgrow@northshoreplantclub.com.
We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.
Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
