Cat,

If you could spare a couple of the Hirta seedlings--I would love to have them.

Hmmm...May be too late in the season by the time I get them in September....
They will be done blooming by then...At least--collect some seeds from them--
now that you know where to look for them....;o) Let the heads dry out completely
before you pick the seeds. Cut off the whole head so you don't lose any.

Yes! The red satin coreopsis is a pretty flower--a nice border color.
It will self-seed like crazy--mark the spot--and you will have oodles of volunteers.

I may just look through my seeds more carefully and see where I got
the ones I sent you from.

Here is my Rudbeckia Hirta (from 2010) you get to look forward to.
