These jumbo Black-eyed Susan blooms have decorative red accents near the center cone, and will make your garden look picture perfect! This Biennial is easy to grow and attracts butterflies. Sowing: Direct sow Black-Eyed Susan (Gloriosa Daisy) seeds in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this plant needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. Gloriosa Daisy seeds can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in spring. Keep seedlings lightly moist, and transplant them as soon as they have developed several leaves. Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant grows very quickly and needs little care. Though it grows well in fairly dry soil, it performs best with occasional watering in dry weather. This plant usually begins blooming in its second year of growth. Mature plants tolerate heat and drought well, as well as tolerating clay or rocky soils. Deadhead for the longest blooming period. Mature plants can be divided. This plant attracts butterflies, and may self-seed. Harvesting: For cut Gloriosa Daisy flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
