    Customer photo review of Black Eyed Susan Seeds - Marmalade

    I winter sowed these in just one half of a milk jug (with some Sahara on the other side), and I got SO MANY black-eyed Susans! I was looking for a shorter version since some rudbeckia I've grown before got 4 feet tall. These are perfectly 1.5-2' tall and clump together beautifully. I'm obsessed, and I hope they come back next year. If not, I will have no problem growing them from seed, it was so easy!
