This cultivar of a native perennial is the best! It not only attracts loads of native bees and butterflies, but it helps to feed birds in the late fall and winter with its multiple seed heads. The tall, upright growth habit makes it perfect fit for the back of a Cottage Garden or the edge of a transitional zone in a Rain Garden plan.
Blackjack Gold has a long blooming season, which means it will provide cut flowers for arrangements from early summer through to the fall. The sturdier stems of this variety make it lower in maintenance. No need to stake these blooms. Blackjack Gold is a herbaceous perennial, but provides four seasons worth of interest. Leaving the seed heads on the plant through the winter not only feeds the birds, but will provide structure in the garden when little else is left.
Blackjack Gold Black-Eyed Susan Care
Black-Eyed Susan prefers a soil that is not very fertile. Most native plants thrive on little nutrition. Fertilizing this perennial may lead to too much foliage growth at the expense of flowers. A well drained soil and neutral pH are appreciated. When fully established, Black-Eyed Susan can tolerate drought conditions and may not need extra irrigation in the summertime
Maintenance is very low for native plants. Blackjack Gold will only require a quick clean up of old stems from the previous year late in the winter. Dividing should be done on a 3-4 year schedule. The best time to divide Black-Eyed Susan is in the spring or fall. Mulching with organic compost or leaves in the winter will ensure that the newly transplanted perennials will survive.
Blackjack Gold Black-Eyed Susan Spacing
Blackjack Gold has a height of 30-40 inches and a width of 15-18 inches. Planting Black-Eyed Susans in large groups is the best way to display them in the garden. A spacing of 16 inches on center provides the plants with good air circulation.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
