I'm growing black eyed susans, and one of my plants is getting a crazy long stem! Is this normal for these flowers? I'm not too sure what it thinks it's doing 😂

that is a black eyed susan VINE aka "Thunbergia alata."
You can look it up under that name.
So it is just vining.

Ah that makes sense! The seeds were a gift and didn't have a label so I was assuming they were the kind that don't vine. Thank you!

Hello, here's a pic of mine. This is what the flowers look like. There are many different colors available.

Look at the flowers at the top of the hanger. The ones down in the basket are calibrochoa.

It is a nice vine that I have only grown once, just dont have a lot of room for vines..

Lol - I came to chime in that this was definitely not rudbeckia hirta ( https://duffymeadows.com/2020/... ) but looks like you have it all sorted.

@Duffymeadows. I enjoyed reading that and another post about your prairie planting
