A common wildflower of sandhills, flatwoods and disturbed sites throughout nearly all of Florida. The includes almost all of North America except for the far northern regions.
The leaves and stem are hispid to hirsute - having short, stiff hairs. The cone-shaped disks are brown-purple and are surrounded by 8 to 16 yellow or yellow-orange ray florets.
Several of the images here of blackeyed susan flowers show pollinators and other insects on them. One has a transverse-banded flower fly. Another of the images shows a tumbling flower beetle on this wildflower. A third photo shows a southern cloudywing butterfly.
