| They are in bloom and beautiful. I harvested some seeds and summer sowed them for fall plant out. I wonder if I can scatter some seed in other parts of the garden. These plants do produce a lot of seed.
what's YOUR triloba experience? |

| I don't have any here, but my mom has them pop up here or there every year. I like them, I think they're so cheery. Some day I'll get some seeds and grow some myself. Karen |

| Funny you should bring this Rudbeckia variety up as I was just out admiring how they made it through the hurricane, how I like the form (taller and finer than my goldstrum) and how I want to plant more of it! I'll be saving seeds and WSing it to! This is my first bloom year with it (WSed in 2010) so I don't know if it self seeds or would be a good direct seeder. |

| Aww. bakemom. You may scatter the seeds anywhere you like. But beware. It self sows prodigiously. Next year you will have seedlings everywhere. Watch for them around this year's mother plants. I do love them, but I have to pull out tons of seedlings every year. |

| Same with the R. hirta 'Autumn Colors' I WS my first year. They're popping up everywhere but for now I'm just watching to see how far they roam from home. They've self-sowed in beds where I didn't plant them but mostly I find them at the edges of beds where I planted them last year. They're so bright & cheerful, I hesitate to yank the seedlings when I see them. Still, I'm always on guard against anything that turns out to be too much of a good thing. |

| I ripped all mine out this year because I couldn't keep up with the seedlings and they were crowding things I wanted out. I love the way hey look, but you seriously have to keep on top of them. |
