Brown-Eyed Susan fills the late-summer garden with hundreds of cheerful golden-yellow flowers, creating a bright display that lasts deep into fall. Its airy branching habit adds movement and beautiful color to pollinator gardens, meadows, and cottage-style plantings while blending gracefully with native grasses and other wildflowers. 

Brown-Eyed Susan serves as a host plant for the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly, making it a very important part of a healthy native landscape. As the summer season winds down, its golden blooms shimmer with butterflies, native bees, and feeding songbirds that enjoy its tasty seeds.
