Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location: Plant Black-eyed Susans in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. They can tolerate a range of soil types but prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.
- Planting: Dig a hole that is deep enough to accommodate the roots and wide enough to spread them out. Place the Black-eyed Susan in the hole and backfill with soil, firming it gently around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting.
- Care: Black-eyed Susans are relatively low-maintenance once established. Keep the soil evenly moist during the first growing season to help the plant establish. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and only require occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooming and prevent self-seeding if desired.
