Description

Soil:

Black-eyed Susan plants require average, dry to medium, well-draining soil to grow.

Light:

This perennial tolerates some light shade but flowers best in full sun (> 6 hours of sun).

Water:

Water black-eyed Susan regularly until the plant is established. Once established, it does tolerate some mild drought.

Fertilizing:

Go easy on the fertilizer. Too much will result in weak stems and plants. A side dressing of compost should be all they'll need.

Winterizing:

You can let the last flowers of the season remain on the plants to go to seed and feed the birds.

Maintenance & Pruning:

Deadhead black-eyed Susan to prolong bloom. Divide when clumps become overcrowded. Rudbeckias don't generally die out in the center and don't require frequent division.

Blah

Positively lifeless. They are nothing like the BES that I purchased from the local nursery. Keep hoping they will perk up but they haven’t so far. I think it was because the delivery was delayed due to hurricane Milton.

Hello! We’re sorry that you received plants that are not up to our standards. We try our best to provide excellent plants, but some factors, like shipping and handling, are outside our control. Our fall guarantee covers plants received after September 1 until May 2025, so we have you covered. Please send your order number and pictures of your plants to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary. We look forward to helping! https://bit.ly/ggp-guarantee
