    I continue to feel excited each time I get plants from US Perennials. The plants are large and super healthy. I'll probably be back for more next year because I love these coneflowers.

    This black-eyed-susan-look-alike is vigorous and a perennial, not a biennial. I'm thrilled with it (unfortunately so is a rabbit that's become a return "customer". I've planted enough for everyone, however, and will be adding more next year. As is the case with all the plants I've bought from US Perennials, these are quite large and vigorous on arrival.

    I've reordered this several times now. I am planting them along a long fence on which I have planted Lonicera sempervirens (Trumpet or Coral Honeysuckle), which I also bought from US Perennials. I'm so grateful to find these super healthy and vigorous specimens.
