Have any of you grown Black Eyed Susan and/or Purple Coneflower from seed? I sowed some last week and was wondering if they will flower the first year or not. Thanks a lot!

Daylily, I've never tried growing "Rudbeckia" black-eyed Susan from seed so I can't help you there. ![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)
Sorry! ![[Frown]](im/frown.gif)
I have grown "Echinacea" Coneflowers from seed, but I don't believe they bloomed the same year I planted them. It's been while ago so I can't be sure. I don't grow too many things from seeds anymore.

Oh, dear..... two days ago I was cleaning out the rock garden where I had planted a "purple" (=dark pink) coneflower plant from Wal-Mart that's always done well. There were a bunch of plants that had what seemed like the same leaves but no flowers and I thought "Meh, some pretender weeds," and yanked em. Dang.
Now I realize they were first year coneflowers. Guess I'll check and see if they're still alive in the heap... LOL. I never realized they didn't bloom the first year.
But be aware, they will spread by seed if you leave the seed heads for the birds.

Hi Neighbor! ![[wavey]](im/graemlins/wavey.gif)
I live in Illinois, and I'm just across the river from St. Louis, so I guess that sort of makes us like neighbors!![[Wink]](im/wink.gif)
I've heard of Lee Summit before, but I'm not really sure where it is?
![[tears]](im/graemlins/crying.gif)
until I learned it was just as important to learn what all the different leaves look like, as it was the flowers. This was really a valuable lesson to learn and it has helped increase the number of plants I now own. ![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)

I have to get out there and collect some seeds before my birds strip the seed heads clean! Geesh, I don't think you can ever have too many coneflowers! I love ![[Love]](im/graemlins/love.gif)
them!
