How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Black-eyed Susans

Worse than ever this year. What I see are earwigs, though I saw a slug elsewhere on the property. What can I do that wont hurt the dog or the good insects?
Last year I planted several red and orange black eyed Susan's. They grew and were beautiful. When they came up and flowered this year, they are only yellow flowers. What happened to the fed and orange ones?
This question comes up a lot about different flowers … and we do not have an answer. It’s a mystery. If anyone out there has an answer–or a theory–pls share.
I have heavily landscaped an acre so I use flowers that self-seed, perennials and bulbs as much as possible. The Susans are the most invasive flowers I have. I sprinkled a lot of seeds about 10 years ago and they quickly covered everything. They even pop up all over the lawn so I spend time pulling some out and planting them along fencelines. Works well as long as they are small. If it wasn’t for them, there would be flowers in some areas so I’m glad they spread.
I live in zone 9b in northern California and have planted Black-eyed Susans for the first time. I had no idea they were rhizomes which I tend to avoid. Are they likely to take over the garden in our hot, dry climate? Thanks for all the helpful information about this plant.
