Three-lobed Cone flower/Brown-eyed Susan is an herbaceous perennial in the daisy family (Asteraceae). It is native to much of eastern North America. Brown-eyed Susan grows easily in average, moist, well-drained soils. It is a resilient plant that tolerates heat, drought, deer predation, and a wide range of soils.
The plant's typical height is 3 to 5 feet with 2- to 4-inch leaves and 2- to 3-inch yellow flowers with dark purple-brown center disks. The leaves often have three lobes and a rosette of leaves that originate at the base of the stem persist through the winter, creating an attractive winter ground cover. Flowers bloom in late summer through fall and make an excellent cut flower. Rudbeckia triloba has a longer bloom period than Rudbeckia hirta or Rudbeckia fulgida.
