Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is a cheerful wildflower native to North America, known for its bright yellow petals and dark brown center. It attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting local ecosystems. Traditionally, Native American tribes used its roots and leaves to make teas or poultices for soothing minor ailments, such as colds or skin irritations. Today, it’s often planted in gardens to add vibrant color and support biodiversity.
