Do let us know if you find new information. If not, I'm satisfied to
consider it an annual, biennial or perennial depending on garden conditions
and genetics. That being the case, the confusion would be understandable.

family his name?<<
Linnaeus was a student of Rudbeck. I always assumed Linnaeus himself named
the plant, in honor of his professor. Can't say for sure, just a guess.
The fair sounds wonderful. Please do give us a report! --Janis
