Showy Coneflower (Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii) plants from Missouri Wildflowers Nursery

Question

Q: How can I identify which kind of "black-eyed-susans" I inherited at the house I bought? They seem to have appeared from seeds, not an old perennial, (I'm assuming). Have not bloomed yet. Can I find a tutorial on the various kinds of these?

I entered "rudbeckia key" in my internet search engine and came up with this: https://gobotany.newenglandwild.org/dkey/rudbeckia/

It does use a bit of botany jargon, but if you scroll over some of their descriptive terms, a pop-up gives you the definition and an illustration so you know what to look for.

You can also join the Missouri Native Plant Society facebook group. There, you can post pictures of the plants you'd like identified.

Accepted Answer

Deer may browse on it. If the deer population is dense and competition for food is high, this might not be a good choice. If they don't browse on the plant repeatedly, then it should be able to recover and bloom.
