Terri and Candee - I saw quite a few arrangements this year with leaves surrounding the vase so I thought I would give it a try. I should have added another layer on top to fully fill the vase. Here is a shot of the black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) patch in my yard. I have read in some of the other forums that people have found this plant to be invasive, but this is the third year I have had it and it has spread to about 3x2 feet. I will probably dig some of the edges out to cut it back to about half it's size this fall. And I always cut off ALL the flowers before any of it goes to seed. |
