Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-30 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Once seedlings are established, thin them to the recommended spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack-Eyed Susan is low-maintenance and thrives in full sun. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as they become more drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave some seed heads for birds and self-seeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Black-Eyed Susan seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824701178166,"sku":"FOLIA2-1025","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6913509075_3d31.jpg?v=1793004199","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/black-eyed-susan-seeds-yellow-wildflower-native-pollinator-25-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
