A neighbor down the street planted a bunch with some echinacea. They are a showy tall plant and dominate the echinacea. Hard to ignore as we drive by. The difficulty is where in the yard would would be place them? Wonderful plant Kathy. A neighbor down the street planted a bunch with some echinacea.

LOVE the Herbstsonne. I have 4 giant clumps of it under my bedroom window. I cut it back two or three times before letting it bloom. It looks wonderful next to your porch and the house. An excellent way to use it. For Old Roses, my clumps have never done much but get a little bigger. Not invasive here in Boise. Hey there! LOVE the Herbstsonne.

This is a variety I haven't tried. I like the height you mention and think they would be great background plants (for me) where other things would hide their knobby knees! I will have to look for one to try! Thanks for the heads up...I always like finding something new (to me)! Lovely pictures! This is a variety I haven’t tried.

My black-eyed susans (rudbeckia of some sort) is literally taking over my yard. Those are really nice, but are they invasive?

Say it isn't so: first mums, and now asters, are no longer in the genus they were named after? How do you find out these things? What!
