    I've had very little success with them, slow erratic germination and extremely slow growth with plants that needed kid gloves protection. I've decided they are not plants for my garden. I have the same trouble with Rudbeckia, I bought a really good plant which I divided into 2 and has since become about 10 massive clumps in my beds.

    Multiple attempts at growing echinacea from seeds have failed. So, I resorted to planting bareroots this year. Tiny leaves are popping up, yay!

    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    Thanks again everyone. Just leave them alone and see what happens!

    I am so glad you popped this on- I had a poor result with the free seeds from GW last year and still have 2 of them in pots doing nothing ... I planted more seeds about 1 m ago and  so far 8 out of 18 have sprouted ...I am so not feeling them
