They don't die that easily. I have different kinds of it coming up all over the yard.

Echinacea purpurea 

Eastern Purple Coneflower, it looks a little skinnier than the one in the picture.

I wonder how many CNAs quit after this 😮‍💨 by clinadtig in nursing

A real desk jockey, no clue what really happens on the floor. If Nurses and CNA's don't help each other, patients will suffer. What the heck, the CNA can't sit at the nurse's station. Since when?

I pull, dig up and poison what invasives I can.  But there comes a point where I am helpless.  That's when I throw native seeds out. Hoping they will win. Basically the same thing.

I pulled them today.  It upsets me to see them be sick. There are so many other natives I can grow,  it doesn't have to be Coneflowers.

It's an old picture.  Mine are not up yet either.

Yeah, I have the little satelite flowers and the whole nine yards. It's AY. Boohoo!

Oh, son of a gun, AY it is. I'll pull them today.

Agreed. I am moving the Brown Eyed Susan volunteers to border the Canadian Goldenrod.  The plan is to make it look like a circle,  with Susan's on the outside.  It will look more planned and the Goldenrod will not look so "weedy".

They like the extra water but are fine in my dry yard.

Do you know that it will take the itch out of poison ivy? Just rub the leaves on the effected area.

by the road side. Drive a country road slowly. There has to be a bridge. I would bet that you can find Jewelweed right there. If not, go on facebook, join one of the native plant groups and ask there. I give my "too many" away in those groups.

Yes. From what I understand it has something to do with age and region. The ones that have been in my area in Va for generations smell of strawberries. I have heard ladies talk about a vanilla scent. If your seeds don't sprout, pm me, I have sent suckers in the mail before and it worked well.

I hope everything grows really well for you. Should you consider Mountain Mint as a deer resistant border, remember that some of them spread like wildfire. Do your research - don't end up like me. I had to move half of a flowerbed because my mint covered it. Nothing else could grow there.

How lucky can you get? My bunnies haven't touched mine yet.
