Mary... You definitely need to add some even if it just the standard purple coneflower. I think if you do you would enjoy them. They offer so much not only to the garden, but also of beneficial wildlife and fall interest in the landscape and floral arranging. The best thing I like about them in the garden is they are basically maintenance free. Those kind of plants are always good to have. ***Click here for 2014 Piggy Swap List Click here for Ella's Garden *** Click Here to Join the 2014 Piggy Seed Swap... Quote | Post #343091 (3)

I'm making up my list of what to get for spring planting. Coneflowers are in the top 5 to get. Tahlmorra lujhala mei wiccan (The fate of a man rests always within the hands of the gods) Quote | Post #344059 (4)

I'm just really short of money right now and have some trades to finish before I buy anything else for me. Tahlmorra lujhala mei wiccan (The fate of a man rests always within the hands of the gods) Quote | Post #344200 (6)
