Rudbeckia fulgida, commonly known as Black-eyed Susan, Brilliant Coneflower, Eastern Coneflower, or Orange Coneflower, is a perennial plant native to eastern North America.
Stems are hairy, ridged, and dark green. Leaves are dark green, sparsely but rouchly haired, simple, with sparsely serrate margins.
Flowers are heads, with black disk florets and bright orange ray florets, borne singly on stems that extend above the foliage.
In the garden, this plant spreads aggressively by both rhizomes and seed.
The ripe seed is a favorite food of finches in winter.
