This is a large group of flowers, including black eyed susans (rudbeckia) and blanket flowers (gaillardia) as well as the more commonly known sunflower. I have rudbeckia and the ones that I have are biennial. The first year, it is just foliage, and the second year it flowers. It produces a lot of seeds and keeps spreading so that I have flowers every year.
