Rudbeckia hirta 'Cherokee Sunset' is a fabulous variety. I've grown it in beds and in large pots. It blooms prolifically through July and August, not bothered by the heat, as long as it gets enough water.
Black-Eyed Susan attracts many beneficial insects. In my garden, it was visited by tiny, green bees, which were fun to watch. Self-sowing, hardy biennial in zones 4-9. Deer resistant.
