Black-eyed Susans

I planted a rhododendron and earlier this year and I noticed it was struggling. Today the even more important black-eyed Susan was planted in our yard.

Some good vibes to bring a bit of the Boone area to Greensboro would be appreciated.

Rhodos don’t like excessive heat but more importantly they don’t like to be planted too deep…excessive water will kill them. Also…deer have started to ravage them and last but not least, I’d personally hold off fertilizing them late in the fall for fear of early freeze damaging branches. If their color is off, think about some iron for quick green up.
Lastly, I can’t for the life of me understand why the entrances to kbs aren’t more festooned with black/gold/white flowers combinations.

Thank you for the expert advice.
