Rudbeckia Irish Eyes and Prairie Sun both have green eyes. I wintersowed both of these this year.

Irish eyes rudbeckia?? Yes I winter sowed it this year, so nothing to report-yet. Maybe someone can chime in? -B

I haven't WS it, but maybe you are thinking of Echinacea 'White Swan'?

Rudbeckia hirta 'Irish Eyes' - WSed in 2005 (sown 4/8, germinated 4/20). Nice and easy. A bit of a sprawler - needed support - but a really pretty one. First blooms in early August ...

Green eyed rudbeckia winter sow just fine. They are really pretty, but mine only lived a few years.

Thanks for all the replies.
Bakemom - then would the seeds look similar to black eyed susan/rudbekia?

Ehinacea Green Eyes is a coneflower and will have a green "eye" in the center of the cone with bright pink/purple petals. It is similar to echinacea Ruby Star which I winter sowed in January. I still don't have germination yet.

Our temps have been firmly in the low 30's until just recently and am just beginning to see some germination in my ws containers but not in any of the echinaceas that I have out. Here is a link of the Green Eyes Coneflower and what it will look like after it blooms. The echinaceas will not flower until their second year.

I winter sowed Prairie Sun a couple of years ago. They did great! In fact they were my favorite flowers. The blooms are much prettier than the brown/black eyed ones. They didn't make it through our New England winter though, so they have to be started each spring, but that's ok because they bloom the first year anyway.

I winter sowed Irish Eyes last month. No sprouts yet, but I've no worries. They're very easy to grow!

The green eyed echinacea is new to me.I definately would love to find a source for seed.....I do ws alot of others.They ws very easily.Hope you have this seed,it is a beauty.If so,go ahead and spring sow it.

I always thought (and I'm not sure) that Echinacea seeds looked like "monster's teeth" and Rudbeckia seeds looked like "black splinters". Anyone agree?
The seeds I have look more like black splinters. I WS them but see no sprouts as of yet.
Thanks for all the responses.

My echinacea seeds look a lot more like the "monster teeth" and my rudbeckia are definitely little "black splinters".
