I got a link to the post about the best and worst echinacea from 2010.. Would it be possible to do it again for this growing season? It was very interesting to see how some plants made the best and then the worst list.

Best: Ruby Star came back very nicely. I just put Pow Wow Wild Berry in this spring and it's looking fantastic.

Medium: My Paradoxa seems to have taken a bit hit over the winter and emerged very late and small. Double Pink is hanging in but not great.

Worst: August Moons emerged nicely but seems to be diseased now and the flower buds aren't developing/opening.

Love 'Hot Papaya'. 'Now Cheesier' has indeed been disappointing.
