Many Rudbeckia species flowers are famed as Black-eyed Susans or Brown-eyed Susans.  'Indian Summer' (Rudbeckia hirta 'Indian Summer') is one of the newest cultivars. This beautiful perennial grows to 3 1/2 feet tall, thrives in full sun or partial shade, bears profusely from summer to frost,and is drought and heat tolerant. Beautiful in the garden or landscape, it also attracts butterflies, is deer resistant, and makes a cut flower. Definitely a winner.
