Comments (150)I've noticed some people saying that they've had some problems growing coneflowers in their yards, so I thought I'd let you know what I've learned about them, mostly by trial and error. They're growing great in my yard now, and I'm enjoying them all...lol! First and foremost, the seeds need at least a month or two of being outside in the cold before they'll sprout. And when I say cold, I mean below freezing, not just in the 40s -60s. If your area doesn't get that cold for that long, simulate it and throw the seeds into your freezer for a month or so before you plant them. When you do plant the seeds, do so by scattering them on top of the soil and then pressing them into it. They don't need to be buried. After pressing them into the soil, lightly cover them with grass clippings or straw so the birds don't eat them. Coneflowers love the sun, so plant them where they'll get full sun. If you don't have a full sun area for them, plant them in the sunniest spot available and hope for the best. Some types of coneflowers get off to a slower start than others, depending on variety. In the spring, scatter some cosmos seeds where you planted the coneflowers. Both species love the sun and require the same amount of watering, which in my mind makes them excellent companions. Aslo, cosmos and coneflowers flowering together looks great! If you've got other questions about growing coneflowers, let me know. I've been growing mine with great success for the last 4 years or so, after having a few forehead-slapping moments because of the mistakes I made. I'll be glad to help you avert doing them too....See MoreName that Rose Game! Part 2

8 years agoDon't think spaghetti and meatballs would have helped me (am not that good with cryptic clues) but now I can see the connection:)
This rose is, according to HMF, only available in Europe but I think it is absolutely stunning. That is the first clue - second clue: it has a strong fragrance.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoTalisman is a beautiful rose. It gets too large to be in my garden. Love your photo, Beth. Here's one that usually is darker, so don't let that fool you. The triple digit heat has lightened the blooms, but it is still quite pretty. It can get large too, in California, but I have to make space for it somehow.

8 years agoLike so many of the roses this summer - much hotter that usual. It was 34C again yesterday but it's raining today and temps dropped by 10degrees.
Just took these pics (had to use an umbrella) two pics which show the different stages of bloom
