Hello, I sowed seeds called Rudbeckia Brilliant Star and ones called Echinacea purple. They are now ready to be potted on and I notice that the leaves are identical. Are these two different plants or the same. Help appreciated.

They are very closely related, both known as cone flowers, very hard to
tell apart till they are in flower.

If you want to look them up, I think you will find that the second is
actually Echinacea purpurea. But as David said, until they flower they
are not easy to tell apart.

Thanks David and Jeff, yes it makes sense as the leaves are identical.
