Pat that's great and to the Forum. Here in Va. I have a hard time killing Rudbeckias. Seems to be a little invasive. So I keep a piece for xeriscaping and plant it where nothing else will grow. Hope your plants do well.
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
