Description

Black-eyed Susan is a sun-loving plant that originates from North America and produces bright yellow blossoms.

It can be used as a great cut flower as people associate warmth, sun, and summer feelings with it.

It owes its name to the rough hairs on its stalk.

As a medicinal plant, for the Indians of North America, it internally served as an immune booster similar to the purple coneflower.

Black-eyed Susan is the state flower of the US state of Maryland.
