I bought this “Harvest Moon” Coneflower from BJ’s in Rehoboth, and planted it on May 17, 2008 in Welcome along the walk near the arbor gateway. It already had a flower and some buds. This plant did amazingly well. It bloomed all summer with lots of flowers at any time, and well into the fall till frost. It had very nice golden yellow petals, full and even, and large tall golden-brown cones.
