Diane - I guess I won't have to worry about when they bloom this year - the deer had already eaten most of them 1/2 way down, therefore eating off all the buds!!! There are 2 that still have them - though I shouldn't say that out loud - they'll probably be gone tomorrow!

Carol I enjoyed seeing your cone flowers,, Mine just never came up from the seeds, when I buy more they just don't make it. I had the double pink delights, the coconut lime, and the harvest moon ones, at the other house, they just wont grow for me here,, maybe one bloom and that's it so glad you have them I could see again,

Thanks everyone.. Diane: The only Coneflower that I had "not" come back was the short pink one called "Little Annie" I think the Bachelor Buttons choked it out. ...FYI: I buy mine as plants in the 6 inch pots.... If you remind me early next spring I can send you starts of the Double Delight & the Coconut Lime--those I have here. . I seem to have trouble with the Blanket flowers-- my tall "Burgundy Silk" did not come back nore did my "Oranges & Lemons".

Lovely flowers!! My sister has deer around her house that eat everything in sight. She plants things that are supposedly deer resistant but not to her deer. They eat it all. She can't have a shrub around her house and it looks so bare. She has all sorts of wooded areas where she lives so they're not starving. The deer travel through her yard in large herds and eat the entire time. Diane that's interesting about the cone flowers. They're easy to grow around here just from the crowns of the old flowers. Guess you're weather isn't just right.

I had plenty of them where I lived before,, it's not the weather, I believe its this old soil here. Although I've amended the soils especially for the cone flowers they still wont grow,, I want to move back to where I was

Beautiful...the only thing I dislike about coneflowers is that here they reseed like crazy. Of course they reseed where you don't want them too

Love cone flowers. I think it was Lynne who sent me some heads off some she had years ago that started mine. I know it was Cindy Lou who sent me zinnia seeds that started mine years ago. It seems most of what I have got a start from seeds sent from here. I know dodge and angelblossom have sent me seeds too. I've got it all in a notebook.

I hope to get seeds this year. I've always cut the spent blooms off as soon as they start wilting, but this year I'm leaving them in hopes to get some seeds.

how high do they grow---perhaps you should pick me to perhaps get some seeds--You know,...if you get any, & if you have more seeds than you want for you...

This one is about 4 feet tall, well taller than that I guess since it is almost as tall as me. You are welcome to some seeds. I will put you on the list.

When I went back later, some were there then & some were not---try closing out of TGH & then come back in---perhaps that will help you here too. It helped me with FB. Can't hurt to try, right ???
