Black-eyed Susan
- Shipping Available
The Black-eyed Susan, also known as the Common Black-eyed Susan or Brown-eyed Susan, is such a delightful wildflower! This cheerful plant is often seen as an annual or a short-lived perennial, bringing joy across its range. Its bright yellow, daisy-like blooms—typically 2-3 inches wide—feature charming dark centers that really make them stand out. You can find these lovely flowers perched atop stems that reach 1-2 feet high, surrounded by scattered oval leaves that add to their character with a slightly bristly texture. It is a host plant to several moths and butterflies, and its blooms attract butterflies and other pollinators.
In its first year, this native prairie biennial creates a lovely rosette of leaves, and then it graces us with beautiful flowers in the second year. Its hair-covered surfaces give it a unique feel that's pleasantly rough.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 10-15 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.

All good so far…seems happy in it’s new home.
My friend loved receiving the Black Eyed Susan plant in Florida! I sent it to her when her husband passed away to remind her of their roots in Maryland. She told me she put it in a pretty pot and she drinks her morning coffee next to it outside every day. :)
Great plants
👍
Beautiful and excellent addition around our pool.
These came in a 4 pack of one gallon containers. They were well packed and ready to be planted. Since being planted on 09/16/25, I've been watering them every other day. They are thriving in full sun for about 6 hours a day. I am so pleased that I just placed another order for Texas Sage!
Plants were a bit rough looking when they arrived, but that is to be expected when you have them shipped to you in the middle of a TX summer. They even include a card explaining how to "revive" them after arrival. Everything I ordered seems to be rebounding just fine, and I will definitely be ordering more from "Native Gardeners" in the fall. Thanks again!
All the plants Ive bought @Native Gardeners have done great, even the plants I bought a few.years ago AND dug up & transplanted to my new house!!
Cant wait to see these bloom!
Racoons dug up both black-eyed Susan's the night they were planted. They destroyed one but I still planted pieces of roots I found. I was able to replant the other one and it's doing well.
