Black-eyed Susan
Add a pool of sunshine to the garden with a massed planting of black-eyed Susan. From midsummer these tough native plants bloom their golden heads off in sun or light shade and mix well with other perennials, annuals, and shrubs. Taller varieties look especially appropriate among shrubs, which in turn provide support. Add black-eyed Susans to wildflower meadows or native plant gardens for a truly natural look. Average soil is sufficient for black-eyed Susans, but it should be able to hold moisture fairly well.

Plant It With
Fountaingrass
With slender arching grassy leaves and bottlebrush panicles of flower spikelets, fountaingrass brings a rustic grace to massed plantings of Goldsturm black-eyed Susan. They enjoy similar conditions.
Russian sageIn sunny gardens, the wand like flower stems of lavender Russian sage play off well against black-eyed Susans.
AsterIn sunny places, Frikart's aster has 2- to 3-inch lavender blue daisy flowers that combine well with black-eyed Susans and other medium height black-eyed Susans.
ConeflowerBlooming at the same time, purple coneflowers echo the size and shape of black-eyed Susans, but in a contrasting purplish pink, which looks attractive against yellow or gold.
