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. Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart.
- Care:Water newly planted Black-eyed Susans regularly until established. Once mature, they are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and prevent self-seeding if desired.
