It's strange that your echinacea won't spread. I have to thin mine out..it goes crazy. So do the gloriosa daisies. They're both from the same family, so maybe they just like what's in our soil. I add our nice rich compost to the soil and they both like it, so I doubt your soil is too rich. I know they like lots of sun though. Don't know anything about ligularia though, sorry.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1153687874975076522006-07-23T16:51:00.000-04:002006-07-23T16:51:00.000-04:00Ah, Sissy, breeches must be another name for the ...Ah, Sissy, breeches must be another name for the ligularia?<BR/>I just moved it to that spot about a month ago. I was not doing well where I had originally planted it, so I moved it (surprise, surprise). LOL. I'm always moving everything! <BR/>It really does not get a lot of sun where it is because there is a big pine behind it. Does it need a lot of sun?Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1153685246088251122006-07-23T16:07:00.000-04:002006-07-23T16:07:00.000-04:00Sissy, I have a lot of neglected areas, just none ...Sissy, <BR/>I have a lot of neglected areas, just none in the sun. LOL. Sun is a sought after commodity in my gardens. <BR/>Do coneflowers like poor soil? I didn't realize that.<BR/>What are breeches? I've never heard of that one.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1153684014892748662006-07-23T15:46:00.000-04:002006-07-23T15:46:00.000-04:00Zoey,I wonder if your soil is too rich for the Bre...Zoey,<BR/>I wonder if your soil is too rich for the Breeches and the Coneflower!!<BR/>Look at the daylily right next to it!! Full of blooms! That indicates you have them in plenty of sun, but it might be that the soil is too good,(it's always something, isn't it??!!)<BR/>I know those coneflowers thrive in the sandy, lean soil I have here...Do you have a neglected area in the sun somewhere??Sissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714196104526604635noreply@blogger.com
