Tips
Pests & Diseases
Septoria leaf spot, powdery mildew, rust, Botrytis blight, and Verticillium wilt can affect black-eyed Susan. Watch for dark spotted leaves, white coating, orange pustules, gray mold, or progressive wilting. Space plants generously, water at soil level, remove infected leaves and fall debris, rotate beds, and discard plants with persistent vascular wilt.
Lace bugs cause pale stippling and dark specks beneath black-eyed Susan leaves; aphids, Japanese beetles, and leafhoppers also feed on plants. Check leaf undersides first. Remove plants with aster-yellows distortion, handpick beetles, and preserve predators that help suppress lace bugs and aphids.
