| Hi, I noticed I have a bunch of seedlings coming up in and around the area where I had my coneflower before I moved it. Some of them aren't where I would have planted them (in the middle of snow in summer, right up against a Forsythia bush etc) but I will leave them and see what they do. There is no signs of flower buds yet, which I don't expect there to be this year. But Do you think the small (approx. 4-6" tall) will be strong enough to survive the winter? Out of 6 plants last year only one survived (not winter kill, they died during the growing season) now I have a dozen or more babies. . . go figure. . . |

| I have tons of coneflower seedlings over here in BZN, so I'm sure yours will be similarly happy. They do so well, and I love them! |
|
| well thanks neighbor. that's good to know. I do love them and I don't think I could ever have too many. . . |
|
| Yup, agreed. Except for that I do have too many now! I've been giving them away, so if you feel like driving here you can dig up some big fat clumps of them. |
|
| The seedlings also survive winter here in cold snowy MN without any winter mulch. I don't have too many yet but can see the day coming so have been less careful weeding around them and not caring if a seedling gets weeded out. Edited to add: |
