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? Cheers Both are great and require no real work or fuss. Do both! I will sometime use a ring or hoop to hold up the taller coneflowers, the Black eyed Susans keep themselves up. The Susans spread much faster. I recommend thining out the Susan bed(s) every 3-4 years, just transplant some in the spring, you'll never have to buy more. I started with 3 plants about 7 years ago and from those 3 I have 6 other beds now, each about 4x3 feet in size. about 3-4 feet tall. Tom |
