Gathering seeds from mature black-eyed Susans, or Rudbeckia hirta, is a simple task that will allow you to enjoy these vibrant blooms year after year. This cost-effective and sustainable gardening practice typically yields seeds that are better adapted to your local climate and soil conditions, leading to improved germination rates and healthier plants.
As members of the sunflower family, black-eyed Susans produce prolific amounts of seeds – often generating up to 1,000 per plant – making collecting their seeds a worthwhile and easy endeavor.
