OnlinePlantCenter Black-Eyed Susan Plant R002CL

Internationally acclaimed, popular for over 50 years! This compact, 18 in. tall x 24 in. wide perennial sports unique blooms that have 1-2 in. wide, golden yellow petals which encircle a nearly black cone of disc shaped flowers. Blooms from mid-summer to mid-fall. Long-blooming, low maintenance, and long-lived! Plants have handsome foliage and every perennial garden should have a few of these fast-growing coneflower daisies. Plants tolerate wet and poorly drained soil, wind, salt and heat. Deadhead to prolong bloom and to keep plant tidy. Or leave the first sturdy seed stalks for winter interest. If birds do not eat all the seeds over winter, plants will self sow, creating more plants for your pleasure. Pair with Caryopteris, Pennisetum, or Perovskia for textural contrast.
