First video of its kind that I've seen. You should do every flower looking like each season
Thank you for saying so!
Thank you for doing these videos. They are incredibly helpful as I am planning native plantings for a park. It's not possible to grow all of the plants that may be needed and these videos give an excellent sense of growth rate, how they spread, and how the plant will look through the season. Very much appreciated.
Well I appreciate that! It's definitely a reason this type of video is my favorite to do -- you can get a feel for growth rate, what they look like coming up in the spring, how long blooms last, what seed production looks like, and what they look like in the "off" seasons of Fall and Winter! It can really help with preparing and planning -- especially in your case with native plants in a park! (I feel like we have more leeway to 'mess up' something in our own yards but when you're dealing with public property, well that's a different story!)
Interesting, seeing what these look like in fall and winter. I pull mine as soon as they start looking tired in my little in-town garden.
Filming and putting this video together had to be a lot of work. You did a nice job!
Thank you very much! Also, glad you now know what they look like in the "off season" -- you do get to see some birds come and take seeds, which is nice. :-)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm growing these for the first time this year and I've been wondering what to expect given that they don't bloom first year. I really appreciate this attention to month by month detail. please make more!
I'm really glad to hear that my video was helpful! It's always tricky when you're getting started with a new plant to know what to expect!
Really enjoyed your video and learned a lot. Thanks
This is so helpful, I always wonder what plants look
Like as they grow and are not in flower. Thank you!
You're welcome -- I'm glad it was helpful and nice to see!
This video was extremely helpful. Now I know the growth stages and what to expect visually. Wish I had a video like this for my California Lilac lol
Here in zone 5b they bloom around June 25….and self sow….I do put a short green fence (24”) around them so they don’t flop….and watch they don’t take over the garden….but I really like them…
That's a good tip about the short green fence. Sometimes they flop on me (usually when it's been a bit drought-like), and sometimes they don't, but a little fence would certainly keep things tidy.
Zone 9 here. Florida gardening is so much different than the rest of the country.
Yes, I can imagine it's quite different with your humidity. I'm zone 9 too but it's very hot and arid here. 110° today. I watered 3x's today. Plants get parched! Like living in a dehydrator.
awesome video... smart
Oh my goodness. I’m so glad I came across your channel 🌸😊
Thank you for saying so! ☺
So gorgeous
They are! They're this robust, hardy flower but they look so pretty!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome ❤
This is so helpful!!! Thank you
I'm very very glad to hear that, thank you for saying so! :-)
Appreciate your work here.... Thanks.
Thank you for that.
I attended a lecture on native bees. The speaker said the stems of black-eyed Susans can be used by bees to lay their eggs in.
Yes! Your native bee lecturer and I are in complete agreement! ☺The stems of many different native plants/flowers are perfect little spots for bees to lay eggs/nest, including black-eyed susans. Different native plants have different sized holes that run down their stems/stalks, which is quite handy because different native bees use different sized holes for eggs/nests. Thumbs up on this lecture you went to!
Thank you for some of the best information I have seen on these flowers. I am especially better off knowing the bees use the stalks in their life cycle.
Yes! You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the video/info. I'm also so glad to have been able to share with you how bees use those stalks for nesting in the Spring. It's so handy to know, isn't it?
This is really helpful. I got a Rudbeckia occidentalis this year, and it also didn't flower as a first year plant. Leaves are maybe a bit more round or ovate than hirta, but very similar. I thought it didn't flower because it was almost completely eaten as a young plant when I first planted it (amazingly it re-grew back somehow), but maybe also it just didn't bloom because it isn't supposed to the first year! It looks like you've got those growing with violets, cool! How did you get those two to inter-twine like that? Seems like a good pair, one flowering earlier in the season then the Rudbeckia later!
Yes! We do have violets nearby some of our R. hirta. Those violets actually just showed up on their own. So we got really lucky with that!
I have definitely noticed with many of these native plants how they can get eaten, sometimes all the way to the ground (like what happened to you!), but still come back the next year. They can be so hardy! I find Rudbeckia are particularly hardy. R. occidentalis are super super super cool looking, I hope they flower for you next year!!
Thank you! Do black eye Susan comeback every year in Colorado?
