Bloom Time: Early summer through fall, possibly winter in Central and South Florida.
Fauna: Excellent nectar source for butterflies and bees. Larval source for some moths. Seeds eaten by birds.
Plant Combinations: Black eyed Susan is a staple in a mixed wildflower garden. Blooming is best in years with more spring and summer rains. It is an early successional plant so abundance may decrease over the years if planted with longer lived perennials. Spreads by reseeding.
