BeckysFlowerSeed Black Eyed Susan Seeds

Yes, Rudbeckia hirta is a perennial, meaning it will return year after year once established. However, in some colder climates, they may be treated as annuals or short-lived perennials depending on local winter severity.

While you can start them in trays for an earlier start, Black Eyed Susans can also be sown directly into the garden. If direct sowing, wait until the danger of the final frost has passed and the soil has warmed up.

These are sun-loving plants that perform best in full sun. Aim for a spot in your garden that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily for the most vibrant blooms.

Yes, their open, daisy-like structure makes them highly accessible to a variety of pollinators. You can expect to see bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects frequently visiting your garden once the flowers are in bloom.

Black Eyed Susan seeds require light to germinate, so do not bury them deeply. Simply press them gently into the surface of the soil and cover them with a very fine dusting of soil or vermiculite to keep them in place.
