Re: Rudbeckia
for those of you that answered my question about Rudbeckia and Shasta
Daisy
I want to say thank you, and yes Marge I do believe I'm on the mend.
my Dr's seem to be proud as punch over my progress. and best of all,
I'm feeling tip top
all of you have convinced me that I need several of both of these
plants. I just simply went bonkers when I saw the Rudbeckia. she had
several 1/2 gal pots and I kid you not, one bloom looked to big as a
saucer. she had a bed in back of the greenhouse and had probable 3
clumps planted in this bed and they were about 24" in. + high, very
healthy looking, and just full of blooms. they really made a
statement to me anyway...................
well thanks gang. my mind us made up.
