WANTED: Black Eyed Susans
Comments (6)Hi Kathy, I would love to trade with you! I have Black-Eyed Susan, Shasta Daisy 'Becky,' Erigeron 'Blue Fringed Daisy,' Ox-Eye Daisy (a lot!), Nippon (Montauk) Daisy and small yellow daisy which I can't remember the name right now. Sorry. I would love to trade for your yellow and orange echinacea which I can't fine anywhere here! By the way, I love your daughter's name :-) Please let me know if you would like to trade. I have a lot of other perennials plants also but my trade list isn't updated, so if you are looking for anything else, please let me know. Thanks!

Comments (7)In my experience, Cone Flower will bloom the 2nd year from seed here in my z7 NC garden. I sowed them in a flat, potted them up as seedlings, then planted them into the garden last year. This year they came back and bloomed for the first time. I dont know if this everyone's experience, but that is what happened here....See MorePurple coneflower and Black eyed susan combo
Comments (17)On the other side of the small path are: Liatris spicata âÂÂKoboldâÂÂ, Yellow MexicanâÂÂs Hat, Allium âÂÂGlobemasterâ Seed heads, blue Centaurea cyanus and blue Platycodon . The platycodon is gone this year. It's too stuffed right there. :-) Oh the small trees are Betula nigra 'Little King' for winter interest: The other side of the Miscanthus âÂÂMorning LightâÂÂ, Monarda and Rudbeckia above is this: Feverfew and Lilium Regale Album. Another favorite combination: LambâÂÂs Ear , Berberis âÂÂBonanza Gold" and Allium albopislosum or cristophii with Phlox paniculata and a huge Hosta 'Kossa Regal' behind it and a group of Colchicum whose variety I have forgotten next to the Berberis: This is a much-loved combination: Rose âÂÂTiffanyâÂÂ, lambâÂÂs ear and Allium albopilosum/cristophii. I think I am losing the rose, though, because the Clematis âÂÂPrince Charlesâ above it is overwhelming it. Lol....See MorePurple Coneflowers and Black Eyed Susan
Comments (6)I take the middle road too. I have too many seedlings of all stripes, but I don't mind these particular volunteers. I have been able to give lots away and to create big swaths of coneflowers. So I leave them up for the most part, except in areas where I want the garden to be clean to minimize the massive crunch of garden work in the spring....See Moremary_max
