Rudbeckia vs Echinacea

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.

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?

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.
