Care Instructions:

  1. Sunlight: Plant your Black-eyed Susans in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. They thrive in bright, sunny conditions but can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates.

  2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the plant's establishment period. Once established, Black-eyed Susans are relatively drought-tolerant and only need occasional watering during dry spells.

  3. Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. These plants are adaptable to various soil types but prefer fertile, loamy soil with good drainage.

  4. Fertilization: Feed your Rare Rudbeckia Black-eyed Susan with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer in early spring when new growth emerges. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for application rates and frequency.

  5. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the growing season. This not only keeps the plant looking tidy but also promotes the production of new flowers.

  6. Division: Every few years, divide overcrowded clumps of Black-eyed Susans to rejuvenate the plants and maintain their vigor. Divide them in early spring or fall, replanting the divided sections in well-prepared soil.

  7. Pest and Disease Control: Black-eyed Susans are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but keep an eye out for common garden pests like aphids or powdery mildew. Treat any issues promptly with appropriate insecticides or fungicides if necessary.

  8. Winter Care: In colder climates, apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants in late fall to insulate the roots and protect them from freezing temperatures.
