Well Suzy I don't know what to tell you then, I certainly can't argue with you for liking what you do(or don't). Luckily plants and plans aren't permanent and you can always change.
Actually my ratibida pinnata is staked up. Mexican red hats are floppy by nature.

I like the flatter petaled echinacea like Ruby Giant,Fragrant Angel and Fatal Attraction. Some of the new colored ones like Sundown and Harvest Moon colors fade too quickly for me. The orange meadowbrite ones are not as full and not as hardy I feel.

Helenium barely sell around here and are always on sale later in the summer.
I don't know for sure about the helenium seed, I did have red/gold hybrids reseed true.
