Orange Coneflower—also known as Black-Eyed Susan—produces yellow-orange flowers with dark centers from mid-summer into early fall. The plants spread into a mat of deep green leaves that knit the garden together around clumps of grasses and other flowers. It can handle full sun and quite a bit of shade.
Orange Coneflower spreads slowly to form large clumps, making it useful for filling gaps in prairie gardens. It works well when planted in groups or woven through grasses and other flowers.
Because it blooms later than many yellow flowers, Orange Coneflower pairs well with mid- to late-season prairie plants. It is a great companion for Blazing Stars, New England Aster, and Bottle Gentian, creating a late-summer garden with overlapping blooms and complimentary colors. In winter, the stems and seed heads turn black and provide a nice color contract to the usual garden browns and white snow or winter.

Design Tips
We prefer planting Orange Coneflower (Rudbeckia fulgida) over the common Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) because common Black Eyed Susan is short-lived and spreads a lot by seeds, while Orange Coneflower is long-lived and stays in place. It spreads slowly by underground rhizomes (roots), creating thick mats of leaves and flowers.

Prairie Blazing Star
Fox Sedge
New England Aster
