The bright blooms attract pollinators and add long-lasting color from summer into fall.

Planting & Care

Sow Toto Gold Black-Eyed Susan seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to 8-12 inches apart. For best performance, provide full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
