Start Black-Eyed Susan seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed outdoors in early spring or fall.

For improved germination, cold stratify seeds by placing them in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag or container and refrigerating for 2-3 weeks prior to planting. Seeds sown in the fall do not require stratification.

Sprinkle seeds onto the soil surface and press lightly without covering, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days. Cooler temperatures may delay germination.

After your last frost date, transplant seedlings into a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart. Once established, Black-Eyed Susans are drought-tolerant and thrive with minimal care. For continuous blooms, deadhead spent flowers regularly.
