These are the largest, most astonishing Black-eyed Susans you'll ever see. Grow them as an annual, starting them indoors in April, transplanting when the soil is warm, and there will be 26\"-30\" plants with 5\"-8\" flowers from mid-August through the first few frosts. Golden yellow blossoms with chocolate-brown centers make for excellent cut flowers (with a long vase life) and are a beautiful sight in a garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e50 seeds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/t\/58\/assets\/aas-icon-cmyk.jpg\" alt=\"Indian Summer Rudbeckia\" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/AAS_Icon_cmyk_50x50.jpg?v=1601044604\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0d9c36;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRudbeckia hirta\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerennial, Zones 5-9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7-12 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 70-75ºF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSow on the surface and press into soil, seeds need light to germinate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStart indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
