Water deeply after planting, then maintain regular moisture during the first growing season to establish strong roots. Once mature, water occasionally during dry periods. Remove spent flowers throughout the season to encourage continuous blooming, but leave seed heads standing in late summer for wildlife. In early spring, cut back plants to ground level to stimulate vigorous new growth. A light application of balanced fertilizer or fresh compost in spring provides all the nutrition needed; avoid over-fertilizing, which reduces flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Quart","offer_id":45814248964282,"sku":"30606","price":77.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/solar-sisters-black-eyed-susan-plant.jpg?v=1777509642","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/solar-sisters-black-eyed-susan-plant","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
