Let’s learn about Black-eyed Susans!
Rudbekia is a member of the sunflower family (Asteraceae) and has similar daisy-like flowers.
Although black-eyed Susans are also called coneflowers because of their cone-shaped heads, they should not be confused with purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea). Both flowers come from the same plant family and require similar growing conditions, but the color and appearance of the flowers differ.
Confusion also arises when gardeners come across the black-eyed Susan vine (Thunbergia alata). This unrelated Rudbeckia look-alike is a tender, warm-climate perennial native to Africa. Photo by: darkmoon1968 / Pixabay.com
