FREE: Unique ✽ BLACK EYED SUSAN ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Organic

The listing, Unique ✽ BLACK EYED SUSAN ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Organic has ended.

These are are seeds from my unique Black-Eyed Susan. This is a very showy Susan with an airy appeal and numerous blooms on curvy stems. The blooms start with a deep yellow ring and end the season with a white halo. They have been surprisingly drought tolerant in my yard, and finally reproduced abundantly after a few years. Save seeds, as this is a biennial and does not always come up each year. They are reliable bloomers and will self-seed if conditions are ideal, giving you years of enjoyment. They are very hardy and very little care is needed. I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden. You will appreciate my motto!
