Frequent in localized areas of mesic prairies, low swales in upland prairies and in thickets along streams. Found generally in the north-central and and the eastern portion of the Tallgrass region. Can grow to 5 feet with yellow ray flowers blooming from June to October. One good way to distiguish Brown-eyed from Black-eyed Susan is the smaller, more numerous flowers and the shorter and fewer (8 to 10) ray flowers.
