Black Eyes Susan - Susie Mixed

This is a delightful trailing plant with white, yellow and orange blooms many with black eyes, ideal for trellis, baskets and conservatories. This is a half-hardy perennial which should be treated as an annual.

Sow indoors from February to April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow, 1.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 20-25°C is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 21-35 days. Transplant them, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Always hold by a leaf, never by the stem. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out, May-June, 30cm apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers from July to October.
