I have none......not ONE Echinacea.

......What I need to know is do they re-seed all over?

Thanks!!

Not if you cut them and bring them inside for a flower arrangement!

But I want to help the birds.....they like the seeds, but if it re-seeds, then, yeah.....cut and bring in....Thanks!

Yes, Echinacea will reseed, even the newer colors, although I don't have too much trouble with them around here and we have a lot of them around here, so I think you would be fine with one or two

I just wish they would do better than grow as an annual for me

I would love for them to self seed!

I just love the color of Harvest Moon! I had one last year but it does not seem to have returned this year.

But I have ordered another one. If I had known Chris was going to have it I would have ordered it from him. All that I got from him last year have come back!

Fragrant Angel, Sun Rise & Sundown are also no shows so far.

I have never had any problem with reseeding.

My seeds are eaten by the birds we feed, b/c they love them! Plant them, LG and they (the birds) will come!

Chris has cone flowers?

I have purple, harvest sunset, razzmatazz (favorite so far), and a tall green cone flower that I forget the name of.

Anyone know which this one is the foliage for?

That's not a cone flower. Looks like that huge plant I have growing out by my pond.
