Rudbeckia vs Echinacea
(paghat)
They're across the board among the easiest of easy perennials to grow, though if you start from veritable seedlings they might be a little sensitive to extremes during their first two summers, but eventually are impervious to anything except too much wetness. -paghat the ratgirl Would brown, crispy leaves be a sign of too much wetness? I thought mine weren't getting enough water, maybe they're getting too much? |

I thought mine weren't getting enough water, maybe they're getting too much? Ordinarily "regular" watering is too much for echinaceas, & when established as foot-wide flowery clumps they may need watering ALMOST never except in the droughtiest days of summer. But extremely young or just-planted echinaceas may need fairly regular watering, especially during the hottest droughtiest days of summer, or they'll dry out & do nothing for that year, though usually the root survives & it'll try again for itself the following summer. The ground should be allowed to entirely dry out between waterings, but not be left completely dried out for too terribly long (for young plants), getting no superfical waterings between occasional deep watering. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" Visit the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com |

Rudbeckia vs Echinacea
Would brown, crispy leaves be a sign of too much wetness? I thought mine weren't getting enough water, maybe they're getting too much? Even when I plant I don't water often, they prefer to be in good draining drier soil IME. They are known to be drought tollerant once established, I would only water if they were wilting from too much heat or no rain for extended periods. Colleen Zone 5 CT |
