At the end of the season, what should I do with my black eyed susans to ensure their return next year? Do they need to be cut back or just let them die off? Will the plant multiply next year? |
Black-eyed Susans are a low-maintenance perennial, so you need not cut them back. Regular deadheading during the growing season will encourage steady bloom. They will appreciate a top-dressing in spring with rich compost, and will respond with increased growth. In general, they do best when divided every 3-4 years. Enjoy! |
