The black-eyed Susan develops most flowers when she receives at least three hours of direct sun per day. A sunny south-facing balcony, a south-facing terrace or a warm garden wall are ideal locations for black-eyed Susans.
Location not too moist and not too dry
Plant the black-eyed Susanne in garden soil or potting soil that is as loose as possible. It is important that the irrigation and rainwater can drain away.
You can loosen up firm soils by mixing in some sand or ripe compost.
However, the earth must not dry out completely. Always water when the top layer of soil is dry.
Place up
The black-eyed Susanne is a climbing plant that twines counterclockwise around everything it finds nearby.
Be sure to install a stable climbing aid on which the black-eyed Susan can grow up. Only then does it reach a final height of two meters.
If necessary, help the shoots to reach the climbing aids. Make sure that they turn to the left.
Tips & Tricks
The black-eyed Susan is not a houseplant. It needs light and air to thrive. The not hardy climber is only overwintered in the house in winter.
