Rudbekia hirta

These Black eyed Susans are unique as instead of black centers they have lovely lime green centers with bright yellow petals . As a perennial this plant will winter over in mild climates coming back for years and adding warm color to the landscape. These flowers are also extremely long lasting if cut at the right stage, wait until the stems are no longer floppy before cutting.
