Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Black-eyed Susans can tolerate a range of soil types, including poor or dry soil.
- Planting:Sow seeds directly into the garden in early spring or early fall, or plant nursery-grown seedlings. Sow seeds at a depth of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
- Spacing:Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart.
- Care:Water regularly until established. Once mature, black-eyed Susans are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and prevent self-seeding if desired.
