Black-Eyed Susan: Sunshine for Pollinators and Ecosystems

 Today is the last day of National Wildflower Week, so tomorrow it will be back to just Gardening for Wildlife Month posts. Black-eyed Susans, with their vibrant yellow petals and dark centers, symbolize resilience and ecological importance, making them a standout during National Wildflower Week and Gardening for Wildlife Month. These native wildflowers are excellent at attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting biodiversity in gardens and natural habitats. Their long blooming season, from summer to early fall, ensures a consistent nectar source for wildlife. Additionally, Black-eyed Susans are hardy and adaptable, thriving in various conditions, which makes them ideal for erosion control and habitat restoration. Their cheerful appearance also symbolizes encouragement and positivity, adding both beauty and ecological value to any landscape.
