Greetings, I am very interested in the yellow coneflower. Though I am curious what difference (if at all noteworthy) in the Heches River and the Halbert Leaf Hibiscus. Both are equally beautiful and would like some of each. Just wondering if you could give me a heads up on them. Thanks so much!!

You can look up the Hibiscus at www.images.google.com
Just type in the plant name.
The H. dasycalyx is native to the Neches River Valley of Texas, the H. militaris is more widely distributed. The Neches Hibiscus comes about 60% true from seed, or I can root a cutting. The blooms are similar on both, but the Halberd leaf is a larger shrub, and the Neches has finely dissected leaves like a Japanese maple. lmk

Hi, I have A. currasavica 'Silky Deep Red' collected 2 weeks ago and is dry & ready to go. I would love some Ammi majus, even if only a little. Mine grew to 5' this year and a single plant had six Monarch crhysalis' on it, two of which we hatched indoors for my 2yo son to enjoy. Supposedly hardy to z7; I bring mine in and it does fine dormant in a pot til Spring. It is one of my favorite plants, even without the bonus of the Monarchs! Unfortunately GW won't let me post a photo of the cultivar I have, but its easy enough to google 'Silky Deep Red' if you are interested.

I just wanted to share my "seed" starting of this plant. It worked better to start these in a damp paper towel in an open baggie than in pots...I got GREAT results and now I have lots of baby Paradoxas. My Orange Meadow Brite was good too. Most of my other Ech's did so-so started in pots, but the Paradoxa did better with the damp paper towel method. knotz

I really like it--especially since I've failed with the new yellow/orange hybrids, the first of which were created a couple of towns over (so I assumed I'd be able to grow them). I can't remember if I planted the EP in '06 or '07, but it bloomed nicely last year and is huge this year. For me it's a strong, lusty plant that gets pretty tall. Right now it's waist-high, not yet blooming, and the clump looks to be about two feet across. I've got in one of the downhill, and thus comparably moist, spots in my sandy-soil yard. It also doesn't seem to mind being crowded (it holds its own against neighbors and weeds), a major attribute in my garden.
