Rudbeckia subtomentosa 'Henry Eilers', commonly known as Sweet Black-eyed Susan, is a unique and attractive perennial that stands out for its narrow, lance-shaped petals, which are golden-yellow and arranged around a dark central cone. The plant blooms from mid to late summer, offering long-lasting color and attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. It has a slightly bushy growth habit, with a mix of green and silvery-hairy foliage, adding texture to the garden. 'Henry Eilers' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a great choice for garden borders, meadows, or naturalized areas. It is drought-tolerant once established, relatively low-maintenance, and provides a more distinctive variation of the classic Rudbeckia look.
