Irish Eyes Black-Eyed Susan is the one without the black eye. Golden yellow petals ring a fresh green center, and tall upright stems lift the daisies well clear of a compact leafy clump. It ships as a live 4-inch plant of Rudbeckia hirta 'Irish Eyes'.

That green eye is the whole point in a border: it keeps a hot yellow planting looking bright rather than heavy, and it flatters lime foliage, blue salvias and grasses in a way the dark-coned types never quite manage. The stems are long and straight enough for real cutting, and the flowers work hard for pollinators from summer into fall. Deadhead through the season and it keeps going.

Fun fact: What looks like one flower is a crowd. Each golden petal is its own ray floret, and the green eye is a dome of dozens of tiny disk florets opening in sequence.

We send it out established and guarantee a healthy arrival, or a free replacement.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
