Know before you buy
These seeds are classified as a biennial or short-lived perennial. While they may not return for many years like a long-lived perennial, they naturalize easily by dropping seeds, which allows them to persist in your garden year after year.
No, this specific variety is not recommended for containers. They are best suited for direct sowing in the ground where they have enough space to establish their root systems and naturalize.
Black Eyed Susans perform best in full sun to partial sun. For the most prolific blooming from summer through fall, aim for a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, these are generally avoided by deer, making them a reliable choice for landscapes prone to browsing.
These seeds are quite versatile and can handle various soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soil. As long as the area is well-drained, they do not require specialized soil amendments to thrive.
You can plant these seeds in either the spring or the fall. Planting in the spring allows them to establish before the summer heat, while fall planting mimics the natural cycle of the plant dropping its own seeds.
