A new take on the old classic Goldsturm, Little Suzy boasts a more compact and shorter version yet equally long bloom time. Bright, golden-yellow flowers begin in July and bloom through October with proper care. The black seed heads add attractive contrast to the fall and winter gardens if left up.

Black-eyed Susan makes a lovely addition to the pollinator garden and is deer and rabbit resistant.
