I'm looking at R.Goldsturm and E.purpurea

Apart from the obvious colour choice does anyone know of a good reason
to pick one over the other? Is one better against slugs or disease, or
require less water etc...

Which one is easier to grow?


I find R. Goldstum a bit less picky than E. purpurea. Both are wonderful
plants, but the Echinacea tends to flop over in my garden and the rudbeckia
does not. Both self-seed, but the rudbeckia is more vigorous for me. The
slugs do go for the rudbeckia, but I haven't noticed them on the Echinacea.
