The dark green leaves are opposite, entire, lanceolate, toothed, and hairy with three prominent veins
Rudbeckia plants have fibrous roots that spread horizontally in the soil. These roots help the plant to anchor itself and collect water and nutrients from the soil. Rudbeckia plants are relatively low-maintenance and do not usually require special attention to their root system.
There are a number of fungal diseases that you might call "rudbeckia mold", and luckily, the treatments are similar. Septoria leaf spot produces brown or black lesions on the leaf, powdery mildew looks like a white powder sprinkled on the leaves, and aster yellows produces witches brooms, doubled flowers, dwarfing and yellowing. All fungal diseases proliferate in wet conditions, so avoiding over-head watering and watering in the evening, keeping the plants thinned out so air can pass around the leaves, avoiding using nitrogen fertilizers to limit susceptible new growth and removing the infected leaves will help control the disease. Dusting sulfur is effective on powdery mildew, as is spraying the leaves individually with a strong stream of water to knock off the spores. Copper-based fungicides are effective on septoria can slow the spread of the disease and protect new growth from it. There is no chemical treatment for aster yellows.
One common North American plant of the genus Rudbeckia is the black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta). This perennial plant is known for its bright yellow flowers with dark centers, resembling a black eye. It is a popular choice in gardens and is also native to parts of Canada and the United States.
Yes, a black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is a dicot. Dicots are angiosperms that have two seed leaves (cotyledons) when they germinate, and black-eyed Susans belong to the Asteraceae family, which includes many dicotyledonous plants.
Rudbeckia seeds can be planted in late winter or early spring, as they require cold stratification for successful germination. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, lightly covering them with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil moist and provide full sun for optimal growth.
Rudbeckia is a febrifuge, useful in reducing fevers
The rudbeckia propagates easily from seed or by root cuttings
Rudbeckia is commonly known as the Black-eyed Susan.
The rudbeckia is a North American prairie native, abundant in the Mid-west
It is in the daisy family
Dark, papery, at a quick glance they look like chaff rather than a viable seed.
