Black-eyed Susan seed packet

$2.50

Black-eyed Susan is a classic North American native wildflower and a staple of meadows, prairies and pollinator gardens. Its bright golden-yellow petals and dark central cone create bold, cheerful blooms that light up landscapes from early summer into fall.

This hardy, herbaceous perennial thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a wide range of soils and conditions. Easy to grow and long-lived, Black-eyed Susan attracts bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects, spreads naturally over time and provides reliable color and resilience in native plantings and mixed perennial gardens.

Seeds should be cold stratified before planting and are best direct sown outdoors. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep, spacing plants 6 to 8 inches apart. Plant in spring or fall. Black-eyed Susan thrives in full sun to partial shade, needs average water and is hardy in zones 3 through 9 (includes West Michigan).
