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.
