I have attached pictures of my front garden before and after which I did this summer. The flowers are still in full bloom and are so amazing.
They are called brown eyed susies or some people call them black eyed susies or rudbeckia. This is a perennial that is so easy to look after, long lasting flowers and multiplies which makes it one of my favourite flowers in the garden.
No, I bought them as plants and planted them in really good soil, fertilize them and made sure they were watered well as we had such a dry summer. I hope they multiply as I would like to spread them around. They are so showy and when I look out my window I see a ray of sunshine...................lol
