We live in NJ,what do we need to do for our black eyed Susan do for next year? Cut them back?Leave them alone?

Doug says that all he does with perennial Black Eyed Susan is cut them to the ground. That's enough for them to be sure. I often collect the seed and spread it around to where I might like more. Or save the seed if it's an annual variety so I can sow them next spring.

But generally, with a perennial plant such as this hardy one, there's nothing you need to do other than clean it up.
