How are your coneflowers doing in Garland?

The purpurea and Cheyenne Spirit are doing okay in ground. Everything else is potted, including the Hot Papaya--I dug it up. We had flooding rains throughout May that compacted my clay soil, then no rain at all for more than 40 days. They don't like those conditions.

And we are supposed to get more rains from El Nin~o this Fall so you may want to keep them potted even longer.

I have a project in mind to create a bed just for the Echinaceas where the soil can be heavily amended in that section (which I don't normally do), but I want to wait for what is in the space now to bloom first. That will be next Spring, so the Echinaceas will probably be staying in those pots over Winter, anyway.
