I planted Black-Eyed Susans and noticed that shortly aftward the leaves all began to turn black and now the plants look in really sad shape. Did I over water??? And will they come back next year if they die-off early now? HELP!!!!!!

I live in zone 6 and mine do this at the end of their growing season. We just cut them down with pruners close to the ground and next year they come up good as new. They like lots of sun. Try not to over water them and keep an eye on them, you don't want to love them to death. If it's not the end of the season for them in your area, it may have been some transplant shock and they should bounce back from this. I hope this was helpful!

It's a little late to be planting flowers in most climates--if these were full grown plants that you just transplanted--they are probably in shock. This will cause die off. They should reseed themselves for next year--just be careful not to pull the seedlings when you start cleaning out the garden in the spring--they do look like weeds in their early stages.

Mine do this every year too.
They bloom normally and the flowers are beautiful.
I just don't worry with the black on the leaves.

its a type of mold....u need to fix some listerine in a jug a tablespoon to a gallon of water and pour it on the leaves.
