Blooming from mid-summer into early fall, it brings long-lasting color and a cheerful, meadow-style presence to gardens and naturalized areas, and its tall stems make it a fine choice for mixed borders and cut flower arrangements. This species is valued for its easygoing nature and its ability to return year after year in the right conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nSweet Black Eyed Susan works well in cottage gardens, pollinator-friendly plantings, and wildflower meadows, where its nectar-rich blooms draw in bees and butterflies through the warm season. It pairs nicely with ornamental grasses, coneflowers, and other perennials for a layered, informal look, and the sturdy stems hold up well when cut for indoor bouquets. Plants prefer full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating heat and periods of dryness once established.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Rudbeckia subtomentosa\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Sweet Black Eyed Susan\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herbaceous perennial\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, clump-forming\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, average to medium moisture\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4 to 9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 14 to 30 days at 65 to 70F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly press seeds into soil, do not bury deeply\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 18 to 24 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Blooms mid-summer to early fall; attractive to pollinators; stems suitable for cutting\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663423111304,"sku":"EXGA-1373","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_5c5c59fa-63bf-4431-908c-23ee26615378.png?v=1791897015","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-sweet-black-eyed-susan-rudbeckia-subtomentosa-hardy-perennial-flower","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
