#ProPlantTips for Care:
Black-Eyed Susan grows best in full sun and can tolerate heat and drought, once established. Plant in well-drained soil of any kind and water regularly until established and during prolonged drought. These perennials appreciate 3-4 inches of mulch over the entire root system for best results.
Prune back the stems and foliage in the fall and remove them from the area if any pest or disease issues are present, otherwise, you can leave the seedheads up for fall and winter interest, as well as bird food. If left to seed, this will likely return on its own from self-seeding after winter has passed. Of course, you can always deadhead the spent blooms to prevent self-seeding and promote additional blooms. Be sure to plant it in well-drained soil for best performance.
This hearty plant grows well in many regions, and at times, a little "too well." Nature Hills uses the Plant Sentry™ system to abide by all local, state, and federal regulations for plants that can become invasive in your region.
