Well, let me tell ya, if you ever want somethin’ real pretty to liven up your garden, then that Black-Eyed Susan vine, especially the Blushing Susie, is just what you need. It ain’t like them fancy flowers you might see in the city, but this one sure can catch the eye, with them soft reds and oranges. It grows easy, like you just throw it in the ground and let it do its thing. It’ll make your trellises and pots look all nice, like a pretty little painted picture. I reckon it’s one of the best choices for folks who don’t have all that much time to fuss over their flowers but still wanna see somethin’ bloomin’ bright and cheery every season.
Now, I know a lot of folks get worried ‘bout the soil and whatnot, but don’t you worry none about that. Black-Eyed Susan vines like the full sun, just like the rest of us. It’s best to give ‘em a spot where the sun shines nice and strong for most of the day. In them hot summers though, a little afternoon shade won’t hurt. They don’t need all that fancy soil, neither. A little dirt that drains well is just fine, and I’d say it don’t hurt to mix in some good compost if ya got some, but even if you don’t, the vine’ll still do alright.
How to plant it?
Well, for starters, when ya go to plant them seeds, don’t just throw ‘em on top. Black-Eyed Susans like it dark when they’re sproutin’ up. So, plant ‘em about 5cm apart in a seed tray with some poor soil, nothing fancy, and cover ‘em up with a little bit of dirt, just enough to hide ‘em. They like to be kept moist, but don’t go drownin’ ‘em now! Just enough to keep the soil damp will do.
When them seeds finally start pokin’ their little heads outta the dirt, you’ll be all proud to see how quick they grow. These vines are quick growers, sure as shootin’. You won’t have to wait long ‘fore they start climbin’ up that trellis or spillin’ out of your baskets, fillin’ up the air with them bright colors.
Care for them vines
Once they’re up and growin’, you gotta make sure they’re gettin’ enough water. They like it regular, so give ‘em a good drink every week if they’re in the ground. If they’re in a pot, you might need to water ‘em a little more often, ‘specially in the hotter months. Don’t let ‘em dry out too much, but don’t drown ‘em neither. Just keep ‘em happy and moist, and they’ll keep growin’ strong.
These Black-Eyed Susan vines are mighty good for all sorts of things, too. You can use ‘em for decoration, hang ‘em in baskets, or let ‘em climb up a fence or trellis. They don’t just sit there lookin’ pretty neither—these flowers stand for justice and truth. So you got somethin’ real meaningful goin’ on with ‘em in your garden.
Why choose the Blushing Susie variety?
Well, I reckon you might be wonderin’ why go for the Blushing Susie over the regular orange and yellow ones. It’s simple, really. The Blushing Susie has them lovely shades of red that make it stand out more. It’s got a softer, more delicate look, but still just as vibrant as them other ones. The flowers are smaller, but they bloom like there’s no tomorrow, and they’ll keep goin’ all season long if you take care of ‘em right.
If you’ve got a little spot on your porch, or even a small garden, the Blushing Susie will fit right in. It doesn’t take up too much space, so it’s perfect for small gardens or just hangin’ in a basket by the door. And the best part is, it’s real easy to grow. Even if you ain’t no expert gardener, you can still grow these beauties and enjoy them all summer.
Some quick tips:
- Make sure it’s in full sun for most of the day, with a little afternoon shade if it’s real hot.
- Keep the soil moist, but don’t drown it.
- Water them weekly, more often if they’re in a pot.
