My Black Eyed Susans Are Not Flowering, Or The Petals Of The Flowers Are Very Tiny?

Question

The plants used to get black spotd and the leaves would eventually turn brown, curl up and die. This year the pant is healthy but the flowers are pretty much non-existent

Answer 1

If this was not, actively, treated then It can still affect the function of the plant. Treating that, and correcting the conditions that caused it (overwatering) can help to bring conditions back for flowering, but you will still want to test the soil for deficiencies.

Here are some articles that will help you to treat the disease, treat the soil, and care for the plant:
