Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant Black-eyed Susans in a location with full sun to partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil but can tolerate a range of soil types.
- 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 newly planted Black-eyed Susans regularly until established. Once established, they are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and prevent self-seeding if desired.
