I love all the colors that Hot Papaya goes through before it gets to the final stage. The orange on the far left is part of the parade.

I have three beautiful clumps of coneflowers that I would like to move. They are the smaller varieties like sombrero and cleopatra. Do I lift them with a lot of dirt and what time of year is best to do that?

I would wait till Spring if you are close to as hot as it is here in NJ. Echies take longer then most to establish so I do not like or have had much success in the Fall. If you do it get as much dirt as possible.

Ok, thanks Bob. I may have no choice as to when they are moved but will try for early spring.

This is my Green Envy and a wonderful peach beauty that came up all on its own. I am wondering if coneflowers can seed out into different colors like phlox do?

Those are very pretty, you can come up with all different colors but most will be pink to purple.

There is not a bad one in the bunch, Bob. Aloha is really different, but it's hard to pick.
