Black Eyed Susan?
We just finished our fence and we wanted to plant black eyed susans in front of the picket fence.
Can we plant them now? And how many years do they last? We are in in Northeastern PA
Re: Black Eyed Susan?
I'm not sure about planting now (if it's too hot or not). They are perennials so they should keep coming back.
Word of advice - they spread! Mine have spread so much I need to move them. Just something to keep in mind when you do plant them.
They are perennials, so you can plant them now.
Some, as pp mentioned, are considered invasive because they so readyily self seed.
The "Goldsturm" strain can't propagate by seed, so it won't overrun your garden, but it is susceptible to a couple of different leaf spots and powdery mildew.
I would check to see if there are any native varieties for your area--those would do the best.
I'd put them in as fall plantings around early/mid September and have them ready to go next spring.
They're perennials--they should last a while. Depending on where you live, you may have to contend with deer, but hopefully they'll outlast the chewing
Our little Irish rose came to us on March 5, 2010

they are very hardy - we dug some up in the backyard last year. and this season some started growing through the cracks in the patio.
i just planted them in philadelphia last weekend.
