Hi, I just collected a ton of Ice Star shasta daisy seed (fully double white), and have a ton more I could harvest (rather than deadhead!)... I'd be interested in After Midnight and/or Ruby Red coneflower. Here is a picture of my Shasta, if you are interested: http://www.whiteflowerfarm.com/32919-product.html

I have purple coneflower seeds that you are wanting. I do not need black eye susan seeds. Would be interested to trade some of my Hosta seeds, wildflowers (tall) different seeds. I will e-mail you. DW: Dancinqueene/pc

I think the definition should include the words "if happy in your location". I would define all of them as short-lived perennials. They will fail to over-winter if the soil is too moist--they don't like wet feet in winter. Sometimes if you don't dead head black-eyed-susans they won't come back--maybe it's a survival instinct that if they haven't set seed they'll try, try again. And sometimes, and wrongly too, a plant which is typically annual is called perennial because you find it in the garden the next year--because it is a reliable reseeder. It not come back from the original roots but has successfully reseeded, perhaps even making its own little colony.
