Black Eyed Susan. How do they propragonate?

Question

I am Tri-lingual. I hope I spelled propragonate right? I am just spelling it the way it sounds in my ears. Nevertheless, I picked up the button's with the leaves from Black Eyed Susan tonight. How can I make them grow in my own garden? Do they multiply by them selves? Could I still plant them even so it's mid August?

Answer 1

See if you can dig up a little section from someone who has some. (About the size of a dinner plate) THEN, plant them and BABY them for about two weeks watering them every day if needed. After they are established, the patch should expand every year. Black-eyed Susan's can be grown from seed but it is really hard and they take forever. Just beg some off a neighbor. =-) You can plant them now.

Answer 2

The "real" black eyed Susan is a wild flower. The Rudbedeki strain is developed from the wild one.
The propagation is the same-- separate the center from the cone over a piece of wax paper. Look at the ends and choose those that are largest or darkest in color-- plant some now-- and save some for the spring to plant.
good luck and enjoy them!

Answer 3

The seeds are the center part of the flower,,, the black part. Let them dry and then plant depending on your location either now or in the spring. You can't go wrong by doing both. good luck!

Answer 4

it's propagate.When the flower dies, it dries up, and seeds are where the petals were connected to the stem. The "crown" part, I think is what it's called . (same place you get sunflower seeds. Zinnias, marigolds, daisies, all seeds develop in same place) When some start to die, cut off just the top, put it in a paper sack. When it's all brown, dried and dead-looking, you will find hundreds of seeds where the petals once were !

Answer 5

They spread naturally from seeds so you can spread the seeds now or a little later in the Fall and they may sprout in the spring.

Answer 6

hmmmmmm

Rudbeckia

Compositae or Asteracea (the newer name) I think
