Rudbeckia occidentalis 'Green Wizard'
Rudbeckia occidentalis 'Green Wizard'
Black-eyed susans are coarse plants with oversized, usually yellow and brown, daisy flowers. Most are native to prairies in the US. They are an essential food source for pollinators and overwintering birds.
'Green Wizard' is an unusual beauty with tall black flowering cones, green bracts, and no petals. Despite the lack of traditional color, it is a bee magnet. Great for flower arrangements.
