#ProPlantTips for Care:
These easy-care tender perennials will make you look good with fuss-free saturated blooms from summer to fall! Cherry Brandy Black-Eyed Susan luxuriates in full sun and well-drained soil! Ensure they have at least six hours of daylight for best flowering. If you have heavy soil that stays wet, raise them up in a planting bed or keep them in tall patio pots. Provide regular water for their first year in the ground, but once established, these are xeric perennials that handle periodic drought. For best results and the most blooms, supply supplemental moisture during these tough periods and a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the entire root system.
Deadhead as the first round of flowers fades to encourage a rebloom. Trim their dried foliage in late autumn if there are any signs of powdery mildew during the growing season, but otherwise, you can keep the seedheads intact for the birds, to self-seed, or for winter interest when the snows fly. Then prune back in the spring before new growth emerges. Watch in springtime for a new flush of growth that emerges from the crown! Divide clumps every 3-5 years to increase the plant's vigor!
- Incredibly Hardy in Full Sun
- Widely Adaptable - Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Rugged & Drought Tolerant Once Established
- Deadhead For Reblooms & Prune Spring Or Fall
- Cold-Hardy, Heat-Resistant & Deer Resistant
Dramatic summer and fall blossoms and native hardiness, the Cherry Brandy Black-Eyed Susan Rudbeckia will be a stunning addition to your sun landscape! Order yours now at Nature Hills!
