    Customer photo review of Black Eyed Susan Seeds - Autumn Forest

    I really enjoyed growing these flowers. They were prolific and each flower lasted weeks! Easy to grow and hardy, I'm in zone 9b and some are still alive from last growing season. It will be march soon and a few made it through the winter!
