Nothing evokes a country gate or rustic mailbox as cheerily as a twining Black-Eyed Susan Vine, with masses of blooms all summer and large, lush foliage.
Managing to look very bushy but never getting out of hand, this vine is ideal for growing up through fences and gates, pillars and poles. Especially effective in containers, where its very full habit looks incredibly lush!
The 1- to 2-inch blooms arise very profusely, facing out from the vine. Petal color ranges from mid-yellow to deep orange, and many blooms feature the characteristic black eye.
If you love Black-Eyed Susan, you’ve got to see the two new color mixes fresh from our gardens. Blushing Susie is a warm-toned blend of red and rose shades, with a few pinks and apricots thrown in for good measure. Sunrise Surprise is a vintage-look mix of creamy rose, salmon, apricot, and ivory shades.
Plant this annual in full sun. It grows rapidly from a direct-sowing, or may be started ahead. Trouble-free and very robust!
Pkt is 25 seeds.
